*DAILY DEW 10/APRIL/2023*
*POST RESURRECTION COMMISSION*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."*
(John 20:21 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
If the last words of Jesus before the Cross will not be strong enough to compel you, the first words of Jesus after the Cross, death & Resurrection should do justice.
Before the Cross, Jesus had severally told his disciples how they were to go into all the world, even as the Father sent him into this world. But somehow, it never stuck.
Peter, well considered as leader, was the first to say... *"I go a fishing."* They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing." John 21:3 (KJV)
It took another session of Jesus appearance after His Resurrection, to correct the misplaced drive and energy of the pioneer disciples of Christ, and by extension,the church.
Striking to me was what Jesus would repeat when he did appear after his Resurrection. *"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."* (John 20:21 (KJV))
This is to show very clearly what matters most to Jesus. It is definitely His way of saying, *"If there is anything you won't take away from my life, death and all, please remember that you have a great commission to fulfill! That is the point of this whole thing!"*
Friends, as we reflect over the death and Resurrection of Christ, it is of vital importance that we recognize the pulse and heart beat of God. I feel strongly persuaded that should Christ physically, bodily reappear in our midst today, he would repeat the exact same message.
This message came as a matter of urgency. This is what was of most importance to Christ. This was his first appearance after death, and he was all about REEMPHASIZING THE GREAT COMMAND-- *"as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you"*
In this season, consider that it has been several years since Jesus repeated these message. Consider that the commission is yet to be conclusively carried out. Consider that if you are born again, you are one of those Jesus is depending on to carry out his commands. "So send I you"
So send I you!
So send I you!
Have you not been sent? Are you on course? Have you any souls to show for your obedience? Have you any report for Him as per how far you have fared? Or you are not aware that He is patiently waiting for your report of souls won?
If you are not living today as one who have been sent by Christ, you are misrepresenting Christ. If you are not going about carrying out the kind of works Jesus did while on earth, you are not fulfilling kingdom purpose. Please, let's have a rethink!
_MEDITATION:_
