It had been a pretty euphoric, tragic and triumphant week. That passion week from Palm Sunday to Good Friday to Easter Sunday. It unfolded as Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, being arrested and nailed to a cross, dying for mankind's sins' punishment, being buried and on the third day, His resurrection from the dead.
"He is alive!" we exclaimed.
"He is risen, indeed" we continued.
And then this morning I opened my You Version Bible app and the verse of the day struck me in the face. It shouted out,
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and fo the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19 ESV).
Wham!
Did you feel it?
We had all that "passion" and now we have this commission - this "Great Commission".
Jesus did all that for us. This is what we can now, as His followers, do for Him.
Go, therefore ....
