How well do you know your mission? Does your mission at work change on a regular basis? Do you know your mission as a family member? Do you have a different mission as a friend? Do you know your mission in life?
We have many different missions as we go through life. Some of those missions are short-lived. They last for a few weeks, are accomplished, and we move on. Some missions are longer lasting. The mission of a parent never ends.
Despite the many missions we may have, none of them are more important than our life mission. Jesus knew His life mission. He knew what He was to do. His mission included teaching, healing, comforting, performing miracles, dying on a cross, and being raised again on the third day.
Jesus foretold what He would do. He told them He would enter triumphantly into Jerusalem. He told His disciples He would be killed by the Jewish leaders. He told them He would rise again on the third day. We often scoff at them for not believing, yet we may not believe as deeply as we should.
How does that tie into our mission? We are to believe Jesus is who He says He is. We are to obey Jesus’ teaching. We are to love God, which means we must love one another. As we are told, if we do not love one another, we cannot love God. Loving God includes obeying him and his commands.
I pray we all believe Jesus is the Son of God. I pray we obey His teachings. I pray each one of us will love God by loving one another and showing God’s love to everyone we meet. Know your mission. Believe Jesus is the Son of God. Obey Jesus. Show His love to everyone. Bless Jesus.
Luke 13:35b “And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
