A Mission With Jesus

Imagine what it must have been like to think that Jesus was dead and then to find out he was raised from the dead and was alive. Some people worshiped and believed this, others doubted what they saw. Jesus commanded the disciples to help spread the word of his resurrection and to continue sharing His story. Because the disciples obeyed, Jesus’ story has been passed from generation to generation. Jesus calls each of us to be like the disciples and to minister to others. Even 5th and 6th graders have gifts and talents that they can use to minister to people in ways that adults can’t. Together we can share God’s good news of love and grace.

Bible Text: Matthew 28:16-20

Key Verse: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, so to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20
