Like the ending of a good movie,
not incomplete like it was Nigerian
nor deceitfully happy like writ by Walt Disney
but truthful, inspiring, motivating and a charging
The disciples at the mount
The words of Jesus as in Matthew’s account
The commission of His people,
The empowerment of the feeble,
The beginning of the new.
A final statement of power and identity
“All authority belongs to me”
a charge that changed destinies
“Go tell the world of me;
Baptise and teach, in boldness preach
and fear naught for always, I’m with thee”
and thus it began
eleven then the same plus three thousand
then more daily
then you and me
and now it’s our turn to share
yet many would never dare
but hear, it’s our mission just as much as it was theirs
the difference here
is there are a few, new avenues
by which, the pitch is sold anew
So Paul wrote letters and I’ll send emails
and Peter stood on the rooftops as my status will tell tales
of the same guy Matthew wrote down of in His scribes
you’ll be reading them on twitter timelines
The message is still the same
Salvation attained by the acceptance of His name
I’ll blog it, tweet it, it’s on my facebook and what’s app status
Jesus paid for our sins, His death just to save us
His life provides guidance, similar to what Tomtom does
His Spirit, our comforter, His word, our instruction,
His love, our power, His charge, the Great Commission.
