JESUS’ MISSION

           The mission of the church is Missions.

Matthew 28:19-20, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

            The greatest desire for any Christian should be to see that others come to know the same great Saviour that saved them. Christians purpose here on earth is to bring others to Christ. Scripture tells us, “… he that winneth souls is wise.” Our desires, as born again believers, should line up with that of the Saviour. If they don’t there isn’t a problem with God; it’s our problem and we need to get right. We need to get to sharing!   

            Jesus had His mission, He was about His Father’s Business, changing the world. You and I ought to follow in those steps to change this world for the glory of God! Chappell said, “This mission should compel us, challenge us, motivate us, and, coupled with a love for Christ, consume us.”

            What is your mission today? If it’s not souls for God’s glory, change your mission!

JESUS’ MISSION

From the manger to the Cross; Jesus’ mission has never changed.

Luke 19:10, For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Social reform- no. Economic reform- no. Jesus had one mission and that was to make the way for lost man to be saved. It wasn’t a way or even one way, He is the ONLY way to be saved. He didn’t come to give you your best life now. He didn’t come to correct social injustices. He didn’t come to make you rich. He came seeking to save anyone who would call out to Him for salvation.

As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour this month, don’t forget why He came!

MISSIONS

      The mission of the church is missions.

Mark 16:15, And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

            The Great Commission of every believer is to tell others about the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. It is not only up to the Pastor, Missionary, or Evangelist. Each one of us that has been born again has the responsibility to share the Good News.

            You can’t win someone to the Lord by living a carnal lifestyle. You can’t win someone to the Lord by being wrapped up in self. You can’t win someone to the Lord by making excuses of why you don’t tell them about Jesus. (I don’t know what to say. I’m scared they will not like me anymore. They might curse me out.) Quit making excuses, go in the power of the Lord, and stand amazed at what Christ can do through a willing vessel as yourself!

            One of the greatest things we can do as believers is to win souls. Proverbs 11:30, The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. How is your soul winning going? When is the last time you shared your testimony? When is the last time you told someone Jesus loves them? When is the last time you told someone about hell? Time is fleeting friend—win someone to Jesus today!
