The last words of Jesus in Matthew

Last night I went to a Bible Study where we began what is to be a 5-week study on The Bible's Call to Mission. As we went through it and I pondered what my mission is, I came upon the final words of Jesus in Matthew:

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Very powerful stuff. You could spend hours on just these words. But the last sentence, to me, is the most comforting sentence in the Bible because of these words:

I am with you always

Marvelous.
