Surely

Matthew 28:20 (NIV): “. . . And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
     The word “surely” is an adverb. It is used to emphasize the speaker’s firm belief that something is true, without doubt, and certain. When Jesus spoke these words of comfort to His disciples before His
ascension to Heaven, He wanted them to know that they would never be alone. Although they would not see Him physically, the Spirit of God would be in them. This same Spirit that empowered the disciples to “go and tell” is the exact same Spirit that indwells Believers today. We have nothing to fear in this life, because He is always with us... guaranteed!
     As confidently as Christ promised to be with His children to the end of the age, He has also promised to come again. Therefore, do not grow weary in well doing, Beloved, for in due time we will reap a harvest of abundance (Galatians 6:9). The Apostle John shared the revelation given to him about the beauty of heaven to encourage us to look homeward. John recorded Christ’s final assurance to His children in Revelation 2:20, “. . . Surely I am coming quickly.” What a blessed guarantee! With faithful hearts, let us join the cry of John and say,
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 2:20). 

Walk surely in Christ today!
