As the Father has sent Me I also send you

 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” - John 20:21.

           Jesus having given His peace to the disciples revealed their purpose. He said to them that just as the father sent Him to the world, He also sends them. He assigned them the task of spreading the gospel. Their purpose is not to be behind the locked doors of a house in fear but to go in peace and spread the gospel. We are ambassadors for Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:20. The disciples obeyed God and preached the gospel everywhere.             .

            The Great Commission of the Lord is to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptize them and preach them. The one who sends us is always with us. 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, 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 - Matthew 28:18.

          Jesus was sent to the world to fulfill the will of father and to finish His work. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” - John 4:34. He finished the work which was given to Him by the Father. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given to me - John 17:4. Let us fulfill the will of God for us by declaring His glory among the nations. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples - Psalm 96:3.                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to fulfill Your will and purpose just as how You fulfilled the will and finished the work of Father. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
