Jesus is the one you’re looking for
Verse of the day: All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching you to keep everything I commanded you, and behold, I am with you every day until the end of the century (Matthew 28:18-20).
- Matthew’s last chapter is a window that opens at the dawn of the glory of the Risen Christ.
- Through this chapter.
- You can see at least three solid summits in the mountain range of Christ’s character: the summit of his power.
- The summit of his goodness and the summit of his design.
And we all know in our hearts that for the Risen Christ to satisfy our desire to admire greatness, this is the path he must take.
People who are too weak to achieve their goals cannot satisfy our desire to admire greatness. We admire even less people who have no purpose in life, let alone those whose goals are simply selfish and without love.
What we want to see and know is a Person whose power is unlimited, whose goodness is gentle and whose purpose is unique and immutable.
Novelists, poets, filmmakers and television writers sometimes create a shadow of that person, but they cannot satisfy our desire for worship, nor can this month’s National Geographic satisfy my desire for the Grand Canyon.
We need the real thing. We must see the source of all power, goodness, and purpose; we must see and worship the risen Christ.
