The Four Unendings

The Four Unendings…

Take a look at the end of the four gospels and how they end. Matthew 28, Jesus commissions them to go into all the earth making disciples of all nations.

Mark 16, “Go into all the world and preach the good news, then Jesus was taken up to heaven. And the disciples went out preaching everywhere with miracles confirming the word of God.”

Luke 24, “Jesus ascended blessing them, and the disciples returned to Jerusalem with great joy, staying continually in the temple praising God.”

John 21, “Jesus did many other things, which if they were written down, the whole world wouldn’t have room enough to contain them.”

Why do the gospels have no real endings? In Jesus, the good news never ends. So forget your troubles, they are nothing in Jesus.

There is nothing compared to the good news, so start rejoicing again and don’t stop, because the joy of the Lord, like the good news of the Lord has no ending.

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Ephesians 6:19-20

The good never ends. So today, don’t let anything stop you in the purposes of God – press on, persevere, and keep going in the good.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
