"Teaching them to observe all that I have
commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always,
to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:20
Jesus said this to his disciples during the very important moment in the Bible, which we like to call, "The Great Commission" -- where Christ tells his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations.
Christ promised to be with them always to the end of the age; through triumphs and trials.
In contrast, during Christ's own commission given by God, no one was with him. Even God turned His face away when Christ bore all the sins of the world. Christ was completely alone at that moment; His disciples turned "against" him through either denial or lack of support. And yet, Christ fulfilled his commission.
So why then, when we have Christ with us, and bearing all our hardships with us -- as well as the added support of the believers -- do we fail to follow through with our commission; our purpose?
Why do we let fear overcome us?
Why do we hide our light?
We have more support in our commission than anyone else has for anything!
WE HAVE GOD ROOTING FOR US! CARRYING US ON HIS SHOULDERS WHEN WE CAN'T GO ON!
Why do we ignore our personal cheerleading squad and 'marvel' at how large our opponents are and their squad when our own squad is, in reality, is larger than any enemy and anything? We already have the victory even before we stepped out on the battlefield! God made our commission even easier in that sense! We KNOW how the war ends! We know that we're going to win!
Why then, do we let fear hold us back?
