I am with you every day until the end of the world
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The sermon is about the promise of Jesus in Matthew 28:20, "Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." The speaker emphasizes that this promise is for everyone, not just the disciples, and that it is a comprehensive statement of God's presence in our lives. The context of this promise is Jesus' imminent departure, and he wants to leave his disciples with a word of affirmation and security. The speaker encourages listeners to trust in God's promise and not allow anxiety to take hold in their lives.
The author discusses how to deal with fear and anxiety, and how the Lord cares about our emotional and spiritual wellbeing. He also talks about the power of believing in Christ and how anything is possible with Him. The author emphasizes that even though Christ gave the disciples a huge assignment, He promised to be with them always, and that promise still holds true for us today. The author encourages us to believe in the power of Christ within us and to activate that power to do great things. He also shares stories of people who turned their tragedies into greatness through the power of God's gifts.
The writer reflects on the presence of Christ in our lives, emphasizing that it is personal and not an impersonal force. He encourages readers to talk to Christ as a person, confiding in Him and seeking His guidance. The writer also references the promise in the Bible that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, and notes that despite the challenges the Church has faced over the centuries, it has endured and will continue to do so. The writer concludes by contrasting the banalities of everyday life with the sublime promise of Christ's presence until the end of the world.
The speaker talks about how Christ's promise of being with us every day until the end of the world is a source of comfort and strength. He emphasizes that even in difficult times, Christ is with us and that we should trust in His love and commitment to us. He encourages the audience to visualize Christ's power and glory and to internalize His promise. The prayer at the end asks for God's help in sealing this promise in our hearts and minds.I want to refer you to verse 20, Matthew 28:20, some powerful words from Jesus, a promise for us, I think that everything we have been talking about this morning, these beautiful testimonies, the hymn that Mir has been singing, there are beautiful eyes for you, some arms for you, that are with you in different situations of life. It is precisely what the Lord tells us, here in this verse 20, in the second part of verse 20, he says: "And behold, I am with you, always until the end of the world." How many can say thank the Lord for that? Behold, I am with you every day, that means Sunday and Monday too, in winter when it is snowing, and in June when the sun is beautiful like today, the Lord says I am with you every day, until the end of the world .
And that is the Word that I am convinced that the Lord wants to share with us in this service, and that you leave with that security in your heart. If you arrived this morning with uncertainty in your life, some very big burden, you are going through a tribulation, some family trial, that makes you doubt God at this moment in my life. Or if you know that He is with you, also because He wants to affirm that trust more. But in all of us he tells us this morning, behold, I am with you, I am with you, every day until the end of the world. And that is the Word that Jesus put in my heart this morning, sometimes when I am between one series of sermons and another, I am there waiting for the Lord to show me the next stage.
