Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20
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.”
Thought for the Day: How do you think those words were originally shared? What was the tone of Jesus’ voice when he said, “Go”? How do people speak it today? Too often the word, “Go!” is spoken in a grumbly tone, a bellyaching woe-is-me. How exactly do others hear our tone when we speak of going to all the nations to make disciples? Are we excited about our mission or do we see it as another item on the to-do list that means we won’t be able to watch our favorite TV show or be lazy this weekend or update our status on Facebook? Next time you speak the word Go, do it with a sense of enthusiasm – an enthusiasm that matches that of God who first called us to the mission.
Prayer: Sort my priorities, O God who first loved us, in such a way as to make sure that my God-inspired mission sits at the top. Amen.
