The Great Commission of Motherhood

“In my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents [with their hands], and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17-18

When I read this scripture passage, I envy the disciples. Imagine Jesus giving us the power to cast out demons, speak different languages, pick up lethal things with our hands, drink poison and not get hurt, and touch the sick to make them well?

The more I ponder this passage, however, the more I realize Jesus has given us these powers when He gave us the Great Commission of motherhood.
