"And when they saw Him, the worshipped Him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations" (Matthew 28:17-19).
Jesus is risen! That glorious shout
Was ringing in hearts that adored.
Yet there were those who lingered with doubt
Even while seeing the Lord.
Jesus, of course, could see who believed;
He saw just as well who did not.
In spite of the evidence, they were deceived,
For doubt had invaded their thought.
Disciples of doubt, beware of deceit
That leads you away from the light,
That discounts the evidence that is complete,
And robs you of spiritual sight.
Confess to the Lord (Who knows it already)
The doubt that oppresses your mind,
Then study the Word that makes your faith steady,
And leave unbelief to the blind.
For then, only then, are we fit to fulfill
The mandate to teach every nation,
To go with the Gospel, to teach them God's will,
And lead precious souls to salvation.
