The Great Commission ends with the comforting words “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” While comforting, these words can be perplexing, causing us to ask, “How is Christ with us to the end of the age?” In this lesson, Dr. Parsons answers this question through a sketch of one of the most significant themes in all of Scripture, revealing God’s enduring desire to dwell with His people and even to use us to fulfill His mission through the local church.
