My Prayer: Psalm 8:1 (New International Version)
1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
The Reading: Matthew 27-28
Matthew 28:18-20 (New International Version)
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
My thoughts: Immanuel, God with us...always, to the very end. In the first chapter, we're told he'll be called Immanuel or "God with us" and here Jesus says that he'll be with us forever. We've got work to do, difficult work sometimes, but we're not alone and in 27 chapters we've seen what having Jesus with us means: power, mercy, kindness, discipline, compassion, wisdom...good things to have with us always.
