Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)
“18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

What part of “Go” have we not understood? The best place for
us to start in the whole wide world is where we are at. Put those flipping,
flapping, flopping, flippers on and get out there; create some friendships,
cannot create a disciple if we cannot create a friend first. Expand our horizons;
expand the boundaries of who we know and who knows us.
One sure way to have Jesus with us is to follow this one
command, “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
We have His message, His commission, his love, His presence,
what more do we need? Grant it, they saw
Him in His resurrection. They had a visual to work with, nonetheless, His
resurrection message was this to them: “… because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John
20:29).
Do you believe? We are blessed if we believe.
