“When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’” Matthew 28:19-20

Dear Jesus, Thank you for not waiting for their doubting hearts to completely catch up before you gave the great commission. The way you motivated them to go serve the planet with their words which were filled with your word amazes me. It has reached me on the other side of the globe some 2000 years later. I’ve become your disciple through their lifetimes so I could be redeemed from my sins and aimless meandering. Now, help me run my leg of the relay race with vigor and wisdom so I redeem the time instead of wasting it on myself. Give me the courage to fight for balance so I enjoy your blessings but do not make an idol out of them. Open doors for your word to enter from my efforts too. Thank you for the privilege to live and work for you in the world you have made. Amen.

Live for Christ and his mission for people and you’ll never be bored.
