Matthew 28:16-20
“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’
“Go and make disciples of all nations”.
As never before, Lord, we have the world at our finger-tips; literally.
Press this, touch that;
Swipe here, click there.
And the news floods in,
the information overloads us
and message after message is shared.
Do help us to sort out the wheat from the chaff, Lord.
Assist us to sift out what you are saying amongst the many messages that others desire we absorb.
From Gutenberg to Google we have had myriad ways to share your Gospel story. Help us not to shirk that responsibility now when the resources at our disposal are so many and varied.
AMEN.
