The Four Unendings

Friday, December 31, 2021

Take a look at the end of the four gospels and how they end. Matthew 28, Messiah commissions them to go into all the earth making disciples of all nations. Mark 16, "Go into all the world and preach the good news, then Messiah was taken up to heaven. And the disciples went out preaching everywhere with miracles confirming the word of God." Luke 24, "Messiah ascended blessing them, and the disciples returned to Jerusalem with great joy, staying continually in the temple praising God." John 21, "Messiah did many other things, which if they were written down, the whole world wouldn't have room enough to contain them." Why do the gospels have no real endings? In Messiah, the good news never ends. So forget your troubles, they are nothing in Messiah. There is nothing compared to the good news, so start rejoicing again and don't stop, because the joy of the Lord, like the good news of the Lord has no ending.
