Parting Salutations from Jesus to his Apostles
April 4, AD 30
Apostle Greeting
Andrew

 “Be not dismayed by the events just ahead. Keep a firm hold on your brethren and see that they do not find you downcast.”

Simon Peter

“Put not your trust in the arm of flesh nor in weapons of steel. Establish yourself on the spiritual foundations of the eternal rocks.”

James Zebedee

“Falter not because of outward appearances. Remain firm in your faith, and you shall soon know of the reality of that which you believe.”

John Zebedee

“Be gentle; love even your enemies; be tolerant. And remember that I have trusted you with many things.”

Nathaniel

 “Judge not by appearances; remain firm in your faith when all appears to vanish; be true to your commission as an ambassador of the kingdom.”

Philip of Bethsaida

“Be unmoved by the events now impending. Remain unshaken, even when you cannot see the way. Be loyal to your oath of consecration.” 

Matthew Levi

“Forget not the mercy that received you into the kingdom. Let no man cheat you of your eternal reward. As you have withstood the inclinations of the mortal nature, be willing to be steadfast.”

Thomas Didymus

“No matter how difficult it may be, just now you must walk by faith and not by sight. Doubt not that I am able to finish the work I have begun, and that I shall eventually see all of my faithful ambassadors in the kingdom beyond.” 

James and
Judas Alpheus

 “Do not allow the things which you cannot understand to crush you. Be true to the affections of your hearts and put not your trust in either great men or the changing attitude of the people. Stand by your brethren.”

Simon Zelotes

 “Simon, you may be crushed by disappointment, but your spirit shall rise above all that may come upon you. What you have failed to learn from me, my spirit will teach you. Seek the true realities of the spirit and cease to be attracted by unreal and material shadows.” 

Judas Iscariot

“Judas, I have loved you and have prayed that you would love your brethren. Be not weary in well doing; and I would warn you to beware the slippery paths of flattery and the poison darts of ridicule.”
