“Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has
sent me, I am sending you.”
Are
you taking your mission seriously?
Jesus
says, “I am sending you” and it is not to make money and keep yourself
comfortable.
God
sent Jesus to die on a cross and provide a path to salvation… Now Christ is
sending you IN THE SAME WAY to teach the way to salvation that the cross
purchased.
If
your life has felt meaningless lately maybe you have allowed it to become that
way…. This is your meaning…. your purpose is to love others and lead them to
Christ.
“As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” is not just a figure of speech. It is a comparison…a directive….it is an explanation as to how we are to view our role in spreading the gospel. We should have an urgency and focus like Jesus did with every person we meet today.
Sharing
God’s plan of salvation is not just something on your “to do list” -- it is the
reason you get out of bed in the morning…. It is why we are still here….
everything else is incidental.
So,
what is your plan? What are you going to DO?
As
you go to school, or work, or wherever God takes you today, approach it like a
warrior crossing enemy lines. Be alert…
Look for the wounded and take them the life-giving truth of God. A few simple
words from you could be a pivot point in their life with eternal impact.
Look
for an opening to talk to someone today about what Jesus has done for you. Put on the whole armor of God and run to the
battle looking for any opportunity God provides for you to spread His love and
plan.
Believe
me the enemy will be intentional so you must be as well. Put together a game
plan that puts you in a position to advance the Kingdom today… we have an
eternally significant mission … so let’s go!
“Every
Christian is either a missionary or an impostor.” - Charles Spurgeon
