Matthew 22:34-40, John
13:34-35, and Matthew 28:18-20 are the life-blood in the life of a servant.
They are called: The Great Commandment, The New Commandment, and The Great
Commission. Our purpose as God’s body is to serve God in the way He has called
us to serve Him. You have purpose in Christ; the church has a purpose in
Christ.
We must strive to become
more like Jesus in our attitudes and behaviors.
The mission has not
changed. But the approach to accomplishing that objective has changed. You are
not the same person you were 10, 20, or more years ago. Your town is not the
same as it was 10, 20, or more years ago. Time marches on yet, God’s plans are
timeless. His desire to fulfill His plan is the same now as it has been from
the beginning. He has given you everything you need in His Word.
The Bible has instructed
us to Gather as God’s people, to Grow in faith, love and service, and to Go
into the world as His disciples.
God’s church must together strive, to know His purpose, so that we may be obedient to Him in fulfilling His call to serve Him, One another, and Our neighbors. You can make a difference, we must make a difference. God is counting on us to make a difference. Amen?
