Prayer Tip--He’s Been Raised! Therefore Go!
Daily Scripture
Matthew 28:8-10, 16-20 (CEB)
With great fear and excitement, they hurried away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples. But Jesus met them and greeted them. They came and grabbed his feet and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers that I am going into Galilee. They will see me there.”
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. Jesus came near and spoke to them, “I’ve received all authority in heaven and on earth. 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, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.”
Daily Reflection & Prayer
We will have different sorts of days today. Some of us will have a quiet day and a good chance to rest and reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice, resurrection, and the fact that he promised we would never be lone. Some of us will have a day full of family and fun and egg hunting, and all the family dynamics that go with it. Some of us will be sick, or in pain, struggling with the challenges of life, and call out, comforted by the promise that Jesus will never leave us alone.
Whatever the day looks like for us, we can all pray together, joined with the generations all over the planet who will be praying and contemplating Jesus words to the disciples.
