Bible
Read Matthew 28:16-20
Jesus Renews Us
In Matthew 28:16-17, the disciples gather, and while some worship, "some doubted."
What does it tell us about Jesus that he commissions his disciples despite their doubts?
How might this encourage us in our own journey of faith and sharing the gospel with others?
Jesus Empowers Us
Jesus declares, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." (Matthew 28:18-19).
How does Jesus' absolute authority directly enable the command to "go and make disciples,"?
What does this mean for the power we have when we participate in this mission?
Jesus Stays With Us
Matthew 28:20 concludes with Jesus' promise: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
How does the certainty of Jesus' constant presence, through the Holy Spirit, equip and sustain us as we undertake the job of discipling others?
Jesus Sends Us!
Considering Jesus' renewal, empowerment, and promise to stay with his disciples, how does this passage collectively compel and equip us as we are sent out to make disciples in our everyday lives?
Prayer
Who are you being sent to proclaim the good news of Jesus to? Pray for them now.
