With us...

I am with you always....---Jesus

 

Why did He say this? Did He really mean it? He says He is with us until the end of the world. He then tells the Apostles to do two things just before He ascends, "Go out and make disciples..., baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Make disciples, and baptize. In order to do this, they had to have a plan, leadership, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  He began a new Tradition. He led by example. He never wrote a word, except in the dust. He gave them ritual and liturgy to follow. He told His disciples, "..do this in remembrance of Me." The early Church met together in the "breaking of the Bread." He is Immanuel in the Eucharist, until the end.
