They met on the mountain,
where Jesus told them to go.
Mountains are places where
divinity meets humanity.
Eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain.
When they saw the risen Jesus,
they worshipped him,
but some doubted.
Jesus said to them,
“I’ve received all authority in
heaven and on earth… (1)
“Therefore,” he said to the eleven,
and to you & to me,
“Go. Go and make disciples,
baptize others in love, and
teach them my ways.(1)
The risen Lord remained with them.
He remains with us.
every day until the end,
of this present age.”
Let us do as Jesus calls us.
Let us go make disciples,
baptize, & teach
in the name of the Creator,
the Son, & the Holy Spirit.
