16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28)
Where do we go from here? That is often the question presented and answered at the conclusion of the books from Scripture. What comes next? The promises of God to send His Messiah were being fulfilled, bringing the eleven to the mountain to meet with God the Son. Obviously, they came to worship. But what will that worship look like in daily life? They (and we) were to go on from there letting others know - to keep on sharing the unfolding Story of God, waiting to see how it all plays out. Just as they could not forsee all the details of what His first coming was like, neither can we of all His second coming will be. But we do have this sense of direction: Worship; Go; Share; Follow; Wait in Expectation.
