Benediction: Sent by Jesus

Here is a closing commission and brief benediction. It was written by Rev. Gord, and posted on Worship Offerings.

Sending Words

Jesus stands and asks:
“Who do you say I am?”
We join millions who have gone before
and say: “the Messiah”

Jesus stands in front of us
and tells us the realities of discipleship
We join millions who have gone before
in the challenges of living as disciples.

Jesus stands before us
and offers food and drink for the journey.
Fed and nourished,
we go out into the world to live and serve.

Jesus stands before us, shining in glory,
and will be with us to the end of the age.
Thanks be to God. Amen.
