Matthew 28:20b ...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
There is a joy and comfort in this verse that is almost indescribable. These are Jesus' words to
the eleven apostles following His death and resurrection. The apostles have gathered on a mountain as Jesus had directed them. When they see Him, the risen Lord, they worship. Even though some doubted, Jesus instructs them to teach others and then gives this promise.
"Lo, I am with you." His Spirit, His providence, His guidance will be theirs. He will give strength, assistance, and direction.
And, He is with me always, too. The Holy Spirit reveals Him to me through His Word. As I "hide" His words in my heart through reading, studying, memorizing, I can feel His presence. In times of trouble, I know that I am not alone. When I pray, I know that He hears. When I do well, I know that He is rejoicing.
He is with me always.
