Last week, we read a really long story about all sorts of God things. We read about how Jesus lived,
and we read about some of the things that Jesus taught, like the story that He told His disciples about
the wheat and the weeds.
This week, our story is going to be a lot shorter.
Actually, I only want to read a couple of verses to you today. I'll bet that you've heard them before, and
I'll bet that you already know a lot about them. They come from the book of Matthew, in the New
Testament, the very end of the book of Matthew. Jesus has already lived and died and risen from the
dead, and now He has one last thing to tell His followers before He goes back to heaven.
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.” Matthew 28:18-20
Have you heard those verses before? Do you know any of them by heart? Let's hear it.
Nice work. Those are some pretty important verses to know. Jesus tells His followers some things that
He's told them lots of times before. But, this last time, He smooshes it all together, like He wants to
make sure that they don't have any excuse for forgetting it...
