Matthew 28:16-20 • Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Mark 10:45 • For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

"Christ prays in me, • Christ speaks in me... • Christ looks through my eyes, • Christ speaks through my words, • Christ works with my hands. • Christ walks with my feet, • Christ loves with my heart."
What if the lost only saw Jesus by the way we treated the weak, the outcast, poor, lonely, uncool, or the people who could never give us anything back?
