The Ascension of our Lord
Text from 1 John 3:1-3

What is ’The Great Commission’?

What Jesus commands us to do is to disciple, or make disciples of, all the nations and peoples of this world. The way that we are to do this is by going out to the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Triune God, and teaching them to observe all that Christ taught and commanded.

Hold fast to the Christ Jesus of the Bible and take comfort in His atoning sacrifice and the forgiveness He has won for you. Abide in Him, for God has promised us eternal life in Jesus’ name!

Abide in the Truth - 1 John 2:24-26

John urged his hearers to continue in that truth they were taught by him and by the other apostles, in the beginning. They were to let what they heard, in the beginning, remain in them.

’A Little While’

For a little while, we may grieve and sorrow - though we still have hope because we know Jesus rose from the dead and will return to raise us up and give us the everlasting joys of heaven. But, in a little while, when Jesus comes again, we shall rejoice with joy inexpressible!

We are complete in Christ Jesus!

The apostle’s message, the true gospel, is that we are complete in Jesus – our salvation and everlasting life are certain in Him – there is nothing we need add to His redemptive work!

Are you walking in the light or in darkness?

Are you walking in the light or in darkness? Sad to say, many, even among professing Christians, are walking in darkness. To continue on in darkness leads to death! To walk in the light leads to forgiveness and life everlasting!

We sow the seed, God makes it grow

This parable of Jesus compares the kingdom of God to a man who sows his seed and waits until the seed, of itself, springs up and grows, maturing until the harvest. Then the farmer puts in the sickle for the harvest. The farmer can only sow good seed, cultivate the crops, and wait for the fruit to mature. He himself cannot make the seed grow and produce fruit.
