And Some Doubted


“But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.  And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him, but some doubted.

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit., teaching them to observe all that I commanded you, and lo, I am with  you always even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:16-20

Can you imagine being one of those disciples who doubted?  Standing right in front of you is Jesus in the flesh - restored and encouraging you to be brave and courageous -- to follow Him and take His word into all the world? 

If you ever wonder if He is there watching over you -- if He is there to comfort you as you prevail for your good and His glory -- just remember this passage and know He always keeps His promises.

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning.  Darlene
