TOPIC: NEVER ALONE
TEXT: MATTHEW 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
MEMORY VERSE: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (MATTHEW 28:20)
MESSAGE:
Jesus Christ came into the world to save mankind from damnation in hell fire. He shed His blood on the cross at Calvary to pay the price for man’s redemption because Adam (the first man) and Eve his wife sold mankind into sin. Jesus came as a baby and grew up in Nazareth. He started preaching the kingdom of God and the plan to take man back into a loving relationship with God. Many people (the Jews) did not like Him and they were not ready to listen to His teachings and even planned to kill Him.

Jesus did not loose focus of His reason for coming into the world – to show man the way back to God. He chose some men (twelve disciples) to go with Him on His preaching journeys. At the appointed time, He was ready to lay down His life – He was crucified on the cross at Calvary. His eleven disciples (Judas Iscariot, the twelfth one, had betrayed Christ and killed himself), became afraid to continue the preaching. Jesus appeared to them and reassured them that they were not alone. He was with them always as they went preaching God’s kingdom. He is still giving us the assurance if we would go to preach and not be afraid.
Men and women, young and old; boys and girls of all nations need to hear the gospel message. Do not be afraid, you are never alone, Jesus goes with you everywhere as you preach the kingdom of God. You will be successful and God will bring many souls into His kingdom through you as you obey.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: Lord, I know You are always with me, please let this assurance be in my heart so that I can faithfully do Your work.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
