Teach others a life of obedience…

28:20 Matthew “and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV)

The disciples had a clear mission. They are to teach. They are to share with others the message of forgiveness and grace. They are to help others to obey the commands to love one another. And just as important, Jesus reassured them that He would be with them ALWAYS… and forever. While He would be leaving them to ascend to heaven, He would still be right there with them. Just as He is right here with us! We need to rejoice in that truth daily.

Copy this blog post or the link to this page to send along this verse to your family, friends, and neighbors. Ask if they feel that people are receptive to teaching about obedience. Ask if our society is becoming so self-absorbed that it doesn’t find time for helping others. We need to take seriously the call to love others and to show His love to them. We are given actions…go…make disciples… baptizing…teaching. Practice these actions daily. And, Take Time For God’s Word throughout each new day. Treat Matthew 28:19-20 as one text. Save the verse cards as Favorites on your phone. This is the Great Commission. We are all included in carrying it out. It should help us to set our priorities each day. It should guide how we manage our time and talents. It is a great calling and it gives us a great life! Enjoy helping others to know the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords… Jesus Christ!

We offer up our prayers for all of the teachers, aides, and social workers across all of the schools around the country. In the Chicago schools, this is the first day of school. In the suburbs, they have already had 1-2 weeks of school. The role of the teacher is still a huge influence on our students. It has a great responsibility. It has LOTS of pressures. We need to give them our thanks and our support. If that is your role now (or in the past), THANK YOU!!! I still have very positive memories of past teachers and the impact they have been on my life. Stay blessed each day. Pass it on by what we teach and by how we show His love to others!
