"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:20
After Jesus was buried, so were the hopes and dreams of the disciples. Before his death, they'd been arguing about who was going to sit in the seat of honor. They could not keep their eyes open in the Garden of Gethsemane. They all, like sheep, scattered as their Shepherd was executed. Wrongly accused, convicted, beaten and crucified. All they'd believed in and followed for the last three years was gone.
However, death lost its sting as the tomb gave way to victory in Jesus' name! Their conquering hero walked among them, eating, conversing, cooking them breakfast in those forty days after his resurrection. Lovingly, Jesus reassured them before his ascension into heaven "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
This same promise is for believers today. We will never walk alone.
