Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you.
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
Honestly speaking, as I was thinking about all the things going on in the world this morning, it was hard not to feel anxiety.
But Jesus was reminding me today, “Hey, all authority has been given to me by my Abba. I’m still in control and always will be.
“Yes, this world is falling apart and eventually will come to an end. But I will come back and make all things new (2 Peter 3:10-13). So until that time, don’t fret. I will be with you.”
That’s our hope no matter what craziness may happen going forward.
So let’s put aside any fear or anxiety we may have concerning the future and keep faithfully doing the work God’s given us to do: make disciples for his kingdom.
