Deficient

10/26/2020

John 20:21 “As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.”

Chambers writes, “In missionary enterprise the great danger is that God’s call is effaced by the needs of people until human sympathy absolutely overwhelms the meaning of being sent by Jesus.”

I, as a believer and disciple of Christ, have the same mission as all believers before me; to share the Good News of the love and saving grace of Jesus with others. This should have always been my primary focus, but alas, it has not been. I have bent to the ways of the world and been timid in sharing this most important of messages. My lack of boldness was always based on how I may be perceived or if I may offend someone, but how can sharing the truth of the love and redemptive power of Jesus ever be offensive? If I am sharing the Gospel of Christ in the Spirit and in love, then I have nothing to fear. This most crucial of missions, dear reader, is one between a heavenly everlasting life and an eternity apart from God.

Tonight, I am feeling my deficiency very acutely. I have an extremely heavy heart.
