The Great Commission (David Gore • Matt 28:16-20

The disciples met with the risen Jesus at a prearranged location to find out ‘what next?’ Matthew’s gospel tells us that some worshipped Jesus and some doubted him. This detail not only adds to the authenticity of the account, but it also helps us identify with the disciples. Jesus, for his part, shows no sign of being put-off by either response. He draws near and reassures the group before providing clear instruction on what they are to do next. As we gather this morning… some will doubt while others worship (and some will doubt and worship at the same time). Be assured that Jesus draws near to us regardless and has something very important for us to be involved with.
