Preach to all nations
Jesus said, "The message about
repentance and forgiveness of
sin must be preached to all
nations. Luke 24:17
A high point in a relay race is
the moment when one runner
passes the baton to another
runner. More races are won or
lost at that moment than at any
other moment in the race.
The passing of the baton in a
relay race is a good image of the
ascension. Jesus passes the
baton to his disciples. He passes
on to us the responsibility to
make God's Kingdom a living
reality in our world our schools,
and our world.
How is the work I am doing right
now helping to make God's
Kingdom a living?
Now I get me up to work,
I pray the Lord I may not shirk,
And if I die before tonight,
I pray my work will be all right.
Thomas Osborne Davis

And lo!
Love one another, just as I love
you." John 15:12
The British poet Leigh Hunt
wrote a poem called About Ben
Adhem and the Angel."One
night Abou awoke and saw an
angel writing in a book the
names of those who loved God
most. Abou asked, "And is mine
one?" The angel replied, "Nay,
not so." Then Abou told the
angel to write down that he
loved his fellowmen greatly.
The angel wrote, and vanished.
The next night It returned with
the book of the names that
those loved God most. "And lo!
Ben Adhem's name led all the
rest."
What seems to be the point of
the poem? Why is love of others,
especially those in need, so
closely linked with love of God?
Whenever you did this for one of
the least important...you did it
for me!" Matthew 25:40
