DAY Twenty-one of Twenty-One "Son of God"

DAY Twenty-one of Twenty-One "Son of God"

Matthew 28:20b

20Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

18Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

19Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

20Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

SORTING IT OUT The story of Jesus doesn’t end with Jesus.

Hundreds of years after Jesus’ death and resurrection, Christians continue to celebrate the gift of a Savior who died for them. Thousands of years after Jesus’ death and resurrection, a transformed people still walk in the light of His forgiveness and love. At the end of time, Jesus will come again to claim His people as His own.

Jesus is the most significant historical character ever to have walked this earth, yet so much more than a page in a history book.

Jesus is the Son of God himself, and so much more than a deity.

Jesus is the Savior of the world, and so much more than a conquering king.

Jesus is with us right now, today. The story of Jesus is an ongoing story, the story of a God who wants to be in relationship with each and every person He created. Nothing can separate us from God’s amazing love.

The story of Jesus continues with you. There is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God, which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39).

YOUR TURN Thank you, God, for sending your Son, Jesus. Thank you for the gift of your Word, that tells us His story. Thank you that Jesus is never further away than a whispered prayer.
