Matt. 28: 16 – 20:
Commissioned by the Holy Trinity
By baptism in the Name of
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, we are ordained into fellowship and
service of the most Holy Trinity!
It is the Triune God who
sends us: Go!
Who commissions us: Teach!
Who assures us: I will be
with you always!
Who reveals in and through
Jesus Christ: “To me has been given all authority in heaven and on earth.”
We too are called to "go" to where Jesus
will meet us to be cleansed. We too are called to worship. We too are directed
to the place where we will meet the living Christ. We too are called to share, in Christ,
communion with the Holy Trinity, where Jesus meets his people, and shares with
us the peace that is the essence of whom God is, through our relationship with
Christ.
No human person can make anyone follow Jesus. What the
disciples had is the word from the living Christ that continues beckoning them
to follow. What the disciples had is the word from the living Christ that
beckons others to follow. His promise is that "I am with you always, to
the end of time”.
