Come Unto Me – Jesus
Our Savior graciously invites us to come to him and give to him our burdens and troubles. This we must do sincerely, from the heart, truthfully.

One vivid childhood memory of mine is a moment in the chicken, ducks, and geese coral: a garden snake came through it and mama duck summoned all the little yellow ducklings to her. They all ran to the safety of her wings. So the Lord calls us to find safety under His wings.
The last words Jesus spoke before his ascension were: “Go and make disciples of all nations”…so we do! The task of the church is to teach the Word of God and baptize, making disciples of all nations.
The disciples must have extended the lease of that upper room in which they ate the Last Supper. They were still there fifty days after the Resurrection, ten days after the Ascension of our Lord. They were fearing for their lives. When the Holy Spirit came on them, they became brave.
The Holy Spirit came on the disciples ten days after our Lord’s Ascension. He told them that they would be his witnesses – and so they were! And so are we! Our task is quite simple: To witness Christ.
