Matthew 28 v 16-20 The Great Commision
(Use the link above to get to the passage)
Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. He who had been there at the creation of the world had finished his ministry on Earth and was now ready to return to Heaven. Before he goes he tells his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. His prophetic words have worked themselves out over the centuries. The Bible continues to be printed and distributed around the world, reaching new peoples and lands all the time. Men and women dedicated their lives to telling others about him. We all play a part of teaching others (and ourselves!) to obey everything he commanded us.
Pray today for those who dedicate their lives to translating the Bible into new languages, and then risk their lives to see the word of God reaching places where it is still hidden.
Most merciful God,
who by the death and resurrection
of your Son Jesus Christ delivered
and saved the world:
grant that by faith in him who
suffered on the cross we may
triumph in the power of his victory;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
