Here’s a
closing commission inspired by John 13: 31-35.
It was written by Rev. Mary Nelson Abbott.
Closing Commission
(based on John 13: 31-35)
Christ
has given us a new commandment:
that we love one another, as
Christ has loved us.
By this, everyone will know that
we are Christ’s disciples,
if we share that love with the
world.
And through this love, all things
will be made new.
Go now, and do as Christ
commands. Amen.
