In the passage we've come to know as the Great Commission, Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus includes what may be the greatest testimony to His love for and the greatest encouragement to His disciples. He said, "And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age."
"I am with you always." Love that is present is a powerful thing. Present love from the omnipotent Lord of glory is life-giving and life-changing.
The late Harry Bollback, found of Word of Life, wrote a hymn that includes words that express the assurance of Christ's presence wherever you go:
Jesus is with me wherever I go,
Jesus is with me, I know;
Over the mountains, the land, and the sea,
Jesus, I know, is with me.
As oft through the valley of sorrow I go,
His hand is upon me, I know, I know;
Jesus is with me wherever I go,
Jesus is with me, I know.
