What is your mission in life? Have you pondered that question? Have you figured it out? Have you considered the path you are on? Have you laid out interim steps to get where you want to go? Have you considered asking God where he wants you to go?
A question everyone wrestles with at one time or another is what their purpose is. If we didn’t, we would blindly amble through life. God has given us a purpose. The bigger question is, are we fulfilling it? Some of us are. Some of us are not.
As Christians, we talk about the great commission. Unfortunately, too often we don’t act on it. Oh, we might once every blue moon ask a friend to come to church with us. But we don’t really live out the great commission. If we did, our churches would be overflowing.
What does it mean to live out the great commission? It means every moment of our lives are lived for Jesus. Everything we do brings glory to Him. Our words. Our actions. Our attitudes. Ensuring all of these are done to glory Jesus does not mean we have to constantly speak His name. It means we speak, act, and have the attitude of Jesus at all times.
Jesus gave us the great commission due to the authority given Him. We often don’t think of His authority. Yet, His authority is the greatest authority in the entire universe. It is greater than any government or corporate position. Adhering to His authority is the most important thing we can do.
I pray we all recognize Jesus’ authority. I pray we seek to do everything so as to bring glory to Him. I pray each one of us will speak, act, and have an attitude like Jesus. Know that Jesus has all authority. Go to glorify Him. Speak like Jesus. Act like Jesus. Have an attitude like Jesus.
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore 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 that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
