Read Matthew 28:16-20
16 The
eleven disciples went to the hill in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go. 17When
they saw him, they worshipped him, even though some of them doubted. 18Jesus
drew near and said to them, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on
earth. 19Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my
disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, 20and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And I will be with you always, to the end of the age.”
Think
Jesus sends his disciples out
to all nations - instructing them to baptise in the name of the Trinitarian
God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This
act of grace is a sign that they have been included into God's family. They belong.
Pray
Loving God, I thank you for
my baptism; a sign that I belong to your family even when sometimes I wonder if
I am worthy. Teach me to live as your
child and reflect you into the world.
