I know I am dating myself (but I'm ok with that). Boyz II Men was one my favorite bands growing up in the late 80's and into the 90's.
The vocal harmony, R&B, A cappella was my jam. One of favorites was "Motownphilly" but by far my favorite was (and is) "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday".
There is something so moving about saying good bye to someone you care about. I remember when you could walk all the way to the gate at the airport when you were dropping someone off. The long goodbye, the feelings, the thought "When will I see you again?"
This is were find ourselves this account. Matthew 28 the Disciples were with Jesus. The Mount of Olives. A place they had been to time and time again. It says that Jesus shared the greatest commission and two great statements.
Those two statements are "all authority has been given to Me", the second "I am with you always". These two statements are incredible! Jesus says I have, I am, and I will.
- I have been given all authority
- I am who I said I am.
- I will be with you always
This must of been overwhelming and comforting. Wow Jesus
But in between these two pieces of bread is some meat to the why. Jesus also said go make disciples to all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spiirt. Teach them to obey ask the command I have given you
It's not goodbye, It's go. It's not goodbye, It know that He is with us. ...and He will be back. Until then live out this great commission!
