When they found him there\, they fell to their knees worshipping him\, even though some of them were still in two minds about whether they could completely trust this experience of him. Jesus came to them and said\, “God has given me the job of bringing everything in heaven and earth into line. Your job then is to go to all people everywhere\, recruiting and training them to follow me. Baptise them\, identifying them as people of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
