Scripture Reading Matthew 28:1-20 Today’s Key Verse:Matthew 28:20b [Jesus said,] “And I will be with you always, to the end of the age.” Reflect The risen Christ appears first to the women. What does he say to them? Jesus commands his followers to make disciples of all people. In what ways do you carry out Jesus’s command? In what ways can you be an extension of Jesus’s love to others?
