The Great Commision
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 worshiped 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, baptizing 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."
Whilst at summer school, this was the passage of scripture that we looked at throughout the week. Since I have been home I have come across this passage twice! I have a little daily devotional book thingy and its looking at the trinity these next few weeks, when I got back this was the firts reading, and then tonight again. But this time when I read it I noticed something about it, a different aspect - and it just made me think how much must be in the bible! I have got a lot out of this one passage, but the bible is full of it - ooodles of stuff! And its amazing how God leads us to these specific passages or verses! Summer school and this devotional were probably planned a long time ago - but they came together as one! God is just great!
