>[Jesus 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
>New International Version

>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>Last words. The last words of a parent to a child leaving for 
>college. The last words of a loved one at the bedside of someone 
>dying. The last words of a friend before moving to a distant place. 
>These last words are chosen with care because they leave a lasting 
>impact. Jesus' last words are our marching orders. "Go make 
>disciples of all peoples! To do this," he emphasized, "you must go 
>where they are, baptize them, and then teach them to do what I 
>taught you to do." Not hard to understand, so what are we doing 
>about obeying those last commands?
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Father from whom all peoples derive their hope, use your Spirit to 
>rouse within me a passion to share your grace with all peoples. 
>Nudge me out of my safety zone and call me into your empowering and 
>sacrificial grace so that I help others come to know you. Through 
>Jesus I pray. Amen.
