Join me in the meeting.

I was listening to a sermon by Tony Evans and some things he pointed out stuck with me.

1st one was "That is it not just about God.  It is about Jesus too."  As he pointed out that in Matthew 20:18 Jesus said: "ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME".
Wow what a thing to be handed by our great Father.  Do you think God gave Jesus that authority because Jesus walked among us and dealt with the temptations that some of us give into everyday and he maybe can relate better to us?  Think about that one for a minute or two.

2nd thing was the main thing.  If you read Matthew 28:16-20 THE GREAT COMMISSION I encourage you to reread it after this and ponder on what I heard from Tony Evans because I myself have had my eyes opened that much wider.  Sometimes there are things you read and you don't really let an important part sink in or you think another part of it is important.  Ready here we go!  Matthew 28:20  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Did you catch it?  Let me help.  AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.  There see it, now let me explain what Tony Evans pointed out that has my eyes open.  If Jesus said that right after he said ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.  This could only me one thing, WE ARE ACTUALLY PART OF THIS MEETING ON THE MOUNTAIN. Now take that in.  Let it sink in.  So for me when people say God and Jesus or not dead oh I really truly believe that now.  I just need to tap in and let Jesus lead me instead of this world leading me.  Meeting Jesus face to face and being told great work will probably be the proudest moment for both of us.  I don't want to disappoint him.  I need to be not just a good Disciple but a GREAT ONE.  Now that I officially have a mentor I look forward to this new road that I am on.  Just to make it clear I am only putting a portion of Matthew 20 to get the whole message I encourage you to read the whole part.  This way you cannot read and think Jesus is trying to lead to fear or be intimated to do his work.

Have a blessed day
