Missions 101

On March - 6 - 2016

missions-101“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14 NKJ

We live in a most wondrous age. An idea can go from an image in one’s mind, to an image or an article written and then released, via waves we cannot see, to everywhere. There has never, and I do mean, NEVER been a time like it on planet earth. No not ever.

Unlimited communication. Unlimited access. An unlimited Message from a Limitless God. Whose ONLY passion….was to love us, and to save us.

In this wildly individualistic age, so many are searching for identity. The world pulls apart and comes together so quickly, it can make your head spin and your heart shake. Never has there been such a quest to ‘Know You Passion’, demonstrated both through bestselling books about Purpose and Passion, down to the most foolish Facebook Quizzes : “What is your inner Disney Princess?
Seeking, yearning, searching….but not finding. Not where we are looking. What is my purpose? I have been created in the image of Boundless Love, to live a life that brings honor to the One who formed me, and to be a bridge for others to easily board and cross that they can come into such a great Love as well.

What, then, should be my Passion? My passion should be HIS passion. The Bible teaches me, that if I say I love God, that I will obey Him, and that it will not be difficult for me to do that.

How do I obey God? First, Jesus taught the most simple commandment. Love God, then love each other. How do we show this honoring love? He instructed us to care for the poor, the hungry, to visit the sick and imprisoned. And then, at the end of His time on earth in His resurrected flesh, He gave one last request. One last command. A commission. A Great Commission.

Go. To everywhere. To everyone. And tell them. Tell them that the God who created the world and indeed created them, loves them, LOVES them. Sent His only Son to die for them. Came to bring them healing, hope and eternal life. Boundless Love revealed in hearts around the world.

To everywhere. To everyone. He did not say if it was convenient. He did not say if it was easy, or if we were not too busy. His command was simple. Go

Our enduring passion is to carry in our hearts those who have never yet once heard His life giving Name. Jesus. Our desire is to multiply this passionate love into others, that His final Great Commission can be completed. For this is Missions 101. A Boundless Love for everyone, everywhere.
