Matthew 28:19, 20 - Jesus Great Commission Today.
Matthew 28:19, 20 (NKJV) Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all
things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with
you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Tucked into the mirror frame in my
bedroom is the only note I ever received from my
dad, who is now with Jesus. Dad was not a writer.
Nor did he express himself fluently in other
ways. But I cherish the words he wrote in his
elementary-style script. "Thanks for the 5 Bibles for my
birthday. Love, Dad."
The whole family knew that for every
birthday, Christmas, and Father's Day, Dad asked for
the same gift Bibles. He was a Gideon - part of
a worldwide group of businessmen who place
Bibles in hotel rooms, doctor's offices, and
prisons. The Gideons have a program where you can
donate Bibles to be given away in honor of someone.
You then send a card to the person you want to
honor, telling them how many Bibles you bought in
their name.
Dad didn't care about anything on this
earth as much as seeing people receive the Word of
God. He passed up scores of opportunities to get
all manner of gifts. But ties, candy, movies,
and other presents weren't important to him. His
heart was in heaven long before he walked on its
gold streets.
I admire Dad's attitude of laying up
treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20). I know it gives
Jesus immense joy when someone makes sharing His
Word a priority. Although I will ask for dark
chocolate and funny romance DVDs for my birthday this
year, I often purchase Bibles in honor of others.
As long as I'm here, Dad's legacy will
continue. The light of God's Word will cover the
earth, one Bible at a time. Jeanette Levellie
Faith Step: Find a Bible you aren't using
or buy one. Give it to someone who needs to
hear the Good News of Jesuss love for them.
