Mission From God

Ever seen the movie "The Blues Brothers?" My kids and I have watched that movie a dozen or more times together. I always love it when Dan Akroyd reminds John Belushi and others that "We Are On A Mission From God."

As Christians, do we actually consider ourselves on a mission from God?

We so often get caught up in the "business" of church and we forget what that Jesus gave us a very specific mission that we often do not carry out.

We so often get caught up in putting our faith around a building instead of putting our faith completely in the power of Jesus Christ!

If we say we are a Christians--let us live like a people who are on a mission from God! Let us become more and more, a people who are willing to share the hope that lies within us with our friends and neighbors and yes--even our family if they do not yet know the Lord. There is nothing more important we will ever do in "this" life besides obey the Gospel ourselves. Most of us would save a dying person from physical death if we could. If so, then surely we would want to help someone be saved from eternal damnation?

And when we go share our faith, let us do so with love and kindness and show the goodness and sweetness of Jesus when we share.

God Speed,
