“16
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to
which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped
him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of
the age."
The
command to “GO” is for all Christians, believers on mission in their home
country and believers sent out. We are all to “GO.”
Today
was yet another reminder that, for me, “GO” means to Columbia
SC. For this season in life, “GO” means
to stay. For now, “GO” equals meeting
my neighbors. Matthew 22 says “37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.38This is the
great and first commandment.39And a second is like it: You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Yes, “GO” means to go to my physical
neighbors who live next door and also to the foreign neighbors I share this
world with. “GOing” is an act most loving and most kind.
For today, I will “GO” only to stay.
