Remember the previous post entitled Mission Impossible? Yeah ... This would be related!
Acts 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
Basically, God has given us missions to accomplish. God had a goal for each of us, that was why He created us! We are made to be His little lights! If God is the Sun (the biggest star in the solar system) then, we would be the little stars that give light to the world. Yep! God wants us to share His love, to share the Word.
Jesus is the greatest gift from God because through Him we can go to the Father. However, not everyone knows Jesus. Some people do not know Who Jesus is. Some of them thought that Jesus is only a prophet or some random guy. No! JESUS IS GOD! Jesus is our Savior! Many people just don't understand so they cannot accept the greatest gift from God!
Now, that we have received God's love, Holy Spirit and Jesus, it is our mission to introduce Jesus to others. We can tell others our experiences with Jesus, how our lives became more peaceful because of Jesus!
You see, when God sends us to battles, He will of course give us armors and weapons. The armors and weapons are our talents. Just like soldiers, the more we are given weapons, the more we are demanded to win! God has given us various talents. If you are a kind of person who doesn't like to talk a lot, then you can preach through your actions, like helping people in need. If you like to sing, sing gospel songs and touch people's hearts from your songs! If you enjoy playing music, ask God to anoint your playing so that people can feel God's presence while you're playing music. If you love to talk (like me for example), preach it! If you love to write, you can create a Godly blog or even publish your own book! And many more! See, God has given us lots of weapons!
Next, some people like Paul really dedicate their lives to God, for the mission. Now, this is what I call true love. Personally, I'm not ready to risk my life for the mission. I'm still selfish but these people (including Paul) have considered their life nothing compared to God's love and mission! They are ready to sacrifice their lives for others, for God, for salvation, because they know that nothing in this world is eternal. During their lives, they even do not work for themselves, they work for others, poor people, orphans, widows. They have cast all their shame and worldly things! This is just so awesome!
In conclusion, we have been loved by God unconditionally. God has given us the greatest gift Jesus. It is our turn to introduce and share God's gift to others. Let's learn not to be selfish. Let's dedicate our lives from God to God! Amen!
