And remember, I am with you al- ways, to the end of the age. - Matthew 28:19-20 “I am with you always,” are the last words Jesus says to his disciples in the last chapter of Matthew. It is a melancholy moment when we say goodbye to someone who has walked the same path with us, day by day. Jesus and the twelve had been on the same path ever since the frst days of calling at Galilee.They had faced storms at sea, sun drenched rocks, never ending ques- tions from the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus and his disciples had faced a lot together, but now, it was time for Jesus to really depart from them. With his resurrection on Eas- ter, Jesus had completed his teaching about eternal life. He had shown the disciples in person: here are my hands, here are my feet. Jesus was the picture that is worth a thousand words. As joyous as it was for the disciples to see Jesus come back from the dead in the resurrection, there is a tinge of sadness to say goodbye at the end of Matthew. It is not dis-similar to the feeling that students, teachers, staff, and parents feel at gradua- tion time. Some good things have happened, yet everyone knows it is time to be mov- ing on. The resurrection was way more than a graduation. It was a revelation. It was a revelation that even though the world may reject God in the worst possible way. Even though the world nailed Je- sus to the tree, the world could not nail down God’s love. God’s love walked out of the tomb and right back into our lives. There are moments in times of duress that we can feel awfully lonely. We can feel like we are the last Mo- hican, the last Christian, the last one who cares. But, let us remember the last word of Jesus in Matthew: I am with you always. Jesus is still right here. By the power of God’s Holy Spirit the love of God is right here. Jesus is never apart from us. Over and over again, when this pastor falls into the illusion of Lone Ranger syndrome, it’s not because Jesus left the pastor. It’s be- cause the morning prayer has worn off, the morning Bible verse has worn off. It can be a long wait till the evening prayer sometimes. There is nothing wrong with a cof- fee break prayer. When the world appears to be caving in around us, there is always time for a stop what we’re doing prayer. Jesus is always with us. It’s up to us to remember to stay with him. *** Rev. Scott E. R. Evans is pastor of the Doniphan and Rosedale United Methodist Churches. Jesus is the good shepherd Tyler Hauptmeier Pastor’s Point In the Bible, we get a lot of peaceful pastoral sheep and shepherd motifs. In the 23rd Psalm we hear, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still wa- ters.” In John 10, Jesus says, “I am the good Shepherd. I know My own and My own know Me.” And, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” And we may say to ourselves, “I can expect life as a lamb in the Good Shepherd’s fock to be peaceful and easy. Ev- erything should go well for me.” But is that really what we should be expecting as God’s people? You see, Jesus isn’t trying to sweet-talk us with smooth words, He isn’t trying to lure us to “vote for Him” with false promises. He tells us that yes, He cares for us and protects us and provides us with all that we need, but He, in part, is also telling us that life in the Church is like life in a sheepfold. So you can bet that sometimes it gets smelly, that sometimes we get a little angry with the sheep next to us, sometimes there’s going to be some head butting. Jesus doesn’t promise us that life on this earth will be “sheep para- dise”, but He does promise us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Jesus also tells us that there will be thieves and robbers who try to lure us away from the Him, the Good Shepherd. They are agents of the devil, and Sa- tan is crafty, he wants to make us disappointed with Christ, he wants us to think that the Christ’s Church is not giving us everything that we should have, or Satan wants to lead us away from the church by luring us away with the bait of something that seems better. So, Jesus, the Good Shep- herd speaks to us His Word. He pronounces our sins for- given for the sake of His suf- fering and death, and with sins forgiven, He promises life everlasting with Him. So, in this way, He leads us through the troubles of this life, and when we hear the voices of the thieves and the robbers, we don’t listen to them. We listen to the voice that comforts us as we con- tinue to go through the trials of this life, eagerly looking forward to the life everlast- ing when there will be no more hurts and sufferings.

“I am with you always,”

are the last words Jesus says

to his disciples in the last

chapter of Matthew. It is a

melancholy moment when

we say goodbye to someone

who has walked the same

Jesus and the twelve had

Jesus is the good shepherd

Tyler

Hauptmeier

Pastor’s Point

In the Bible, we get a lot

of peaceful pastoral sheep

and shepherd motifs. In the

23rd Psalm we hear, “The

Lord is my shepherd, I shall

not want. He makes me lie

down in green pastures. He

leads me beside still wa-

ters.” In John 10, Jesus says,

“I am the good Shepherd. I

know My own and My own

know Me.” And, “I came

that they may have life and

have it abundantly.” And we

may say to ourselves, “I can

expect life as a lamb in the

Good Shepherd’s flock to be peaceful and easy. Ev-

erything should go well for

me.” But is that really what

we should be expecting as

God’s people?

You see, Jesus isn’t trying

to sweet-talk us with smooth

words, He isn’t trying to

lure us to “vote for Him”

with false promises. He tells

us that yes, He cares for us

and protects us and provides

us with all that we need, but

He, in part, is also telling us

that life in the Church is like

life in a sheepfold. So you

can bet that sometimes it

gets smelly, that sometimes

we get a little angry with the

sheep next to us, sometimes

there’s going to be some

head butting. Jesus doesn’t

promise us that life on this

earth will be “sheep para-

dise”, but He does promise

us that He will never leave

us nor forsake us.

Jesus also tells us that

there will be thieves and

robbers who try to lure us

away from the Him, the

Good Shepherd. They are

agents of the devil, and Sa-

tan is crafty, he wants to

make us disappointed with

Christ, he wants us to think

that the Christ’s Church is

not giving us everything that

we should have, or Satan

wants to lead us away from

the church by luring us away

with the bait of something

that seems better.

So, Jesus, the Good Shep-

herd speaks to us His Word.

He pronounces our sins for-

given for the sake of His suf-

fering and death, and with

sins forgiven, He promises

life everlasting with Him.

So, in this way, He leads us

through the troubles of this

life, and when we hear the

voices of the thieves and the

robbers, we don’t listen to

them. We listen to the voice

that comforts us as we con-

tinue to go through the trials

of this life, eagerly looking

forward to the life everlast-

ing when there will be no

more hurts and sufferings.

We continue walking in this

life following the voice of

the Good Shepherd who is

also the light that leads us

through the darkness of this

world. His voice, His Word,

His light is truth.

So even if we have trials

and troubles and struggles

of all kinds in our life, we

know that through Christ

and His Church, He gives

us what we need to have

abundant life. It is the life of

receiving Christ’s promises

of peace and comfort, trust-

ing and looking to the future

in the hope. The Lord cares

for you and shepherds you

through His Church, where

He provides you with the

forgiveness of sins, and with

forgiveness, there is life, a

life full of eager expectation

for life everlasting in the

coming Paradise with Him.
