Abide, Apostle, Abandon

In Jesus’ commission in Matthew 28 there is a promise that is often forgotten. The greatest gift of all - His presence! He commands His disciples to “Go and make disciples” and ends with the promise “Lo, I will be with you always”. The “Go” is with the “Lo”! He has sent us out as apostles to go, and promises to be with us if we would submit to His Kingdom. Jesus invitation to follow Him begins with us abandoning ourselves to abide with Him and be sent out as apostles to preach His Gospel. Get ready to be challenged by our friend Dick Brogden.

End of video. Mr. Brogden reads scriptures related to suffering for 5 minutes to insist that this should be expected if we are to fulfill The Great Commission. Why do you think we have such a negative view of suffering when the Bible says otherwise?
