Benediction: The Words of Christ


Here’s a closing commission & benediction that pulls together some of the words of Jesus.

Benediction

(inspired by Matthew 5:3; 6:34; 5:44; 7:7, 12; 25:40-45)

May you remember the words of Christ:

Blessed are the poor in spirit
the pure in heart
the peacemakers.

Don’t worry about tomorrow
today has enough worries for today.
Life is about more than food,
your body more than clothes.

Love your enemies.
Ask,
seek,
knock.

Do for others
as you would have them do for you.

And whatever you do
even for the least of these
you do for me.
