TO BE SERVED OR TO SERVE
Scripture:
"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you."
Matthew 28:19-20
A Wisconsin man who claims to have
eaten more than 20,000 Big Mac sandwiches
wrote a book about his habit. He attracted a
lot of attention for simply consuming one Big
Mac every day from May 17, 1972 until now.
But all the time the man has devoted to his
efforts hasn't helped anyone but himself. If
he had used the passion and dedication he
spent on eating hamburgers to serve others
instead, he'd have much more to show for it
than a full stomach and a pile of old receipts.
You don't have to consume thousands of
burgers to be known. Everyone is known for
something in their lives. The question is, what
will you be known for? Will it be for what you
consume, or what you contribute?
God has a mission for you, and it's a much
better use of your time than just eating or
shopping. The mission? Spreading the Gospel
message, as the resurrected Jesus called
His disciples to do in Matthew 28:19-20: "...
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you."
This mission, which has come to be called
the Great Commission, is the greatest cause
to which you can devote yourself, because it's
the only one that will ultimately matter.
ARE YOU DOING GOD'S MISSION ?
