Worshipping and waiting...

Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 
The disciples went to Galilee, just as Jesus had instructed.  They all knew it the appropriate response was to worship Him, even though they still did not have everything figured out.  Then they waited: "what are we here for?  What instructions will He give us?"  I'm pretty sure Jesus said much more, but Matthew summarizes: make more followers - go and tell them, depending on the Holy Spirit to guide and empower you.  May we worship the risen Christ as well, without the waiting.  His call to us  is the same - go and tell.
