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.
