As we finish up the Book of Matthew, Jesus gives us an amazing
promise. He will be with us always!
Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then
the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them
to go.
17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but
some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to
them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. 19 Therefore go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end
of the age.”
I know Kent covered 3 of these verses yesterday, but they include
a command and promise we should never forget. Jesus promises to be with us as
we courageously obey His command to go and teach others to follow God. This
isn’t a new promise, but one God had already given to the Israelites.
Deuteronomy 31:6 6 Be
strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he
will never leave you nor forsake you.”
If you love God and are a follower of Jesus, are you encouraged
knowing God is with you and will never leave you?
How well does your and my life reflect this assurance that God is
always with us?
Hebrews 13:5 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and
be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”Alice
