A brief prayer is offered that you can add to your daily
prayers this week. The scripture is from our Sunday Service Bulletin. Today is
Trinity Sunday, acknowledging and worshiping our Triune God.
Gospel Reading- Matthew 28:
16-20 English Standard Version (ESV)
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. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am
with you always, to the end of the age.”
Devotion: Making Disciples
On Trinity Sunday, the Christian Church ponders with joy and
thanksgiving what the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have done to accomplish the
salvation of sinful humanity. We remember the Father as our Creator, the
Son as our Savior and the Holy Spirit as our Comforter. Sometimes the idea
of three entities being one is something that we simply can’t get our head
around. The bible does not mention the
concept of “Trinity” but there are several verses in the Good Book which call
out the Three. Today’s Great Commission is one of those examples: in this passage
God gives us our prime directive, and that is to make disciples. How do we do
this? Have you ever had any training in making disciples? Jesus knew how to
make disciples and it involves being a person of faith; taking the time to pray;
to listen to and teach others; and being a good example. We’ll never measure up
to Jesus, but I believe we can still make disciples. Please stay tuned and be
ready to receive more information over the coming weeks.
We pray: “Lord we humbly pray for guidance
as we try to follow Your Great Commission. Amen”
