Bible in a Year:
Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
During the 2018 World Cup, Colombian forward Radamel Falcao scored in the seventieth minute against Poland, securing a victory. The dramatic goal was Falcaos thirtieth in international play, earning him the distinction of scoring the most goals by a Colombian player in international competition.
Falcao has often used his success on the soccer pitch to share his faith, frequently lifting his jersey after a score to reveal a shirt with the words, Con Jesus nunca estara solo: With Jesus youll never be alone.
Falcaos statement points us to the reassuring promise from Jesus, I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:20). Knowing He was about to return to heaven, Jesus comforted His disciples by assuring them Hed always be with them, through the presence of His Spirit (v. 20; John 14:1618). Christs Spirit would comfort, guide, protect, and empower them as they took the message of Jesus to cities both near and far. And when they experienced periods of intense loneliness in unfamiliar places, Christs words would likely echo in their ears, a reminder of His presence with them.
No matter where we go, whether close to home or faraway, as we follow Jesus into the unknown we too can cling to this same promise. Even when we experience feelings of loneliness, as we reach out in prayer to Jesus, we can receive comfort knowing Hes with us.
How does the assurance that Jesus is always with you provide comfort? How has He comforted you when you felt alone?
Jesus, thank You that Im never alone because Youre with me.

The Ghost in the machine gun...
84 snipers in the jungle? not sure how that works but a Tommy gun would
I never met a hero that liked it, most never speak of it.
If you survive and get old sometimes they talk or the others talk.
