He Wants Us

Mark's conclusion to his Gospel (Mk 16:9-15) highlights the disbelief of the Eleven, even to the point of being scolded by Jesus for their unbelief and hardness of heart, yet he commissions them to "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature." (Mk 16:15). Over the centuries there have been some saintly proclaimers, while also many teachers, priests, brothers, sisters bishops and popes whose brokenness was more apparent than their wholeness, something that a look at ourselves affirms, and yet these are the people, WE are the people, Jesus wants to continue his work.  Astounding, the trust he puts in us.  Encouraging too, that despite our shortcomings, he loves us, forgives us and wants us.
