Around Ambassador - Albert J Portune - April 1960

Albert J Portune

Here is more surprising news from the campus at Pasadena. THE SMALL group of young disciples gathered about Jesus Christ on a mount in Galilee - were suddenly sobered by the import of the words He spoke to them: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you..." (Matt. 28:19-20). Another small group of Christ's disciples were also sobered by similar words here at Ambassador College last week when Mr. Ted Armstrong and Mr. Roderick Meredith announced the coming baptismal tours and assignments for the summer. The realization that you're going on a nation-wide baptizing tour is like suddenly being thrust back in time to that mount in Galilee with Christ's words ringing in your ears. The years of classes at Ambassador seem too few. You seem unprepared, unsure - then the rest of Christ's words come to you - "And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the earth," and somehow you know everything will be all right. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
