Morning by Morning, September 27, 2024 - “Go!” and “Make Disciples” Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are with me now and always, just as You said (Matthew 28:20). So I embrace You and Your Presence, here in my heart and in every moment of my day. ... You spoke of Your Presence with us “always” in Your last words to Your first disciples as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew: “And Jesus came 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, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age’” (Matthew 28:18-20). With Your authority, You send us with authority to “Go” and “make disciples,” bringing others in Your kingdom, into Your family, and “teaching them” of Your kingdom and their place in Your family in the authority of Your name and the character of Your heart. As many have noted, the first letters of the “Gospel” spell “Go!” Our faith is not a passive faith. Our calling is not a hesitant, reluctant, bashful or shy, lazy or complacent calling. It’s alive and active, passionate and zealous, filled with expectant faith about seeing Your Word by Your Spirit make a difference in our world. Just as with Your first disciples, it’s a faith and calling that’s meant by You to make a difference as we make disciples, until the world around us is “crying out, ‘These who have turned the world upside down have come here too!” (Acts 17:6) What do You want to turn upside down in my world today, Lord? What do You want to turn upside down in my own heart, in my own attitudes, in my own perspective today, Lord? ... I’m one of Your disciples. You’ve filled me with faith, called me by name, and sent me to “Go” and “make disciples” in my world. Unite me with Your Spirit and Your other disciples You’ve brought into my life in relationship with me--right here, right now, everywhere You’ll send me in every day I have left in this world--to “Go” and make a difference and see my world turned upside down in the power and authority of Your love and Your name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
