When I taught this game to my kindergarten students, I
remember watching as they discovered the need not only to pay attention to
their strategy but also to mine. They were sure to lose unless they stopped me
from making three-in-a-row. This revelation helped them to see the game in a
new way.
When the Spirit, promised by Jesus, descended on the
disciples during Pentecost, the disciples were able to see the world in a new
way. They now saw each person as someone needing to hear the Good News.
Go therefore, and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can see our
relationship with God in a new way. The Pentecost story reminds us of the Great
Commission. Just as the disciples, we are to go and make disciples. We do this
in our families, in our church, and our communities. We are blessed to be a
part of God’s work.
