Family Communion for Trinity Sunday: celebrant the Revd Adetola Badejo.

First reading: Isa 40: 12-17, 27-31
Gospel: Matthew 28: 16-20

Taken together, our readings this morning contrast the magnitude and power of God as described in Isaiah 40, with the human form of Jesus Christ. Jesus tells his disciples in Matthew 28 that all authority has been given to him. The verses in Isaiah 40 about the scale of the Lord contextualise the Gospel verses. A God so great and everlasting took the form of a human in order that we might be saved.

Both readings give encouragement to the believer. In Isaiah we read that "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength" (Isa 40: 31) and in Matthew Jesus tells his disciples that he will always be with them, "to the very end of the age" (Matt 28: ...20).

Jesus also gives his commission to the disciples to make disciples of and baptise all nations, a command which Christians around the world today are a direct result of. The above painting is part of The Life of Jesus Mafa project - A series of paintings dramatically depicting scenes from the Gospel, re-imagined as scenes from a Cameroonian village. The aim of this project was to help people in Northern Cameroon to teach from the Bible in a way that connected with their community. This is just one example of how Jesus' Great Commission is alive today.
