BIBLE TEXT
Remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
(Matthew 28:20)
REFLECT
These uplifting words are the very last ones from the last chapter of the Book of
Matthew. They were spoken by Jesus to the eleven disciples on a mountain in
Galilee, after he had commissioned them to take his teachings to all, “baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. The
disciples had a difficult and potentially dangerous task ahead of them, and they
may have wondered if their efforts would be successful. How wonderful those
words of assurance must have sounded to them. We now know how effective
they were in spreading the teachings of Jesus, which reach around the world. We
need to remember that Jesus is with us also, throughout each day, and that we
too can achieve the difficult tasks set before us with his help.
PRAY
Dear God, we thank you for the gift of Jesus, his teachings, and his example. Help
us to live our lives with the assurance that we are not alone. In Jesus’ name we
pray, Amen.
