“Victory In The Mission”
If you are a disciple of Jesus, why do you think Jesus saved you? Was it JUST so you wouldn't be punished for your sins? Was it so you can become a "better" person, go to church, and live a moral life? Some of those things are important but ultimately, if that is ALL we think Jesus saved us for, then we have DRASTICALLY missed the big picture. The reason Jesus saved us is for us to KNOW Him, become more LIKE Him, and to lead others TO Him! Praise GOD He saved us from Hell the MOMENT we trusted in Him! But that wasn’t the end of the story - that was only the BEGINNING! Jesus has so many amazing adventures planned for us and all of them involve us falling more in love with God and pointing others to His saving power. THAT is why we are still on this Earth. Are you living out that mission?
