“But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.”Acts of the Apostles 20:24 NLT
We all know what assigned tasks look like in the world, it may start at home with chores to do. School gives us assignments and so does uni if we go that route. The army will give assigned tasks. If we are not used to obeying or hearing the tasks then we are in trouble. If we are permitted to avoid tasks from childhood then we are in bigger trouble as we proceed through life looking to continue this behaviour.
How do we know what our tasks are? The above verse tells us: winning souls to Christ. You might argue but that was Paul’s assignment he was an evangelist. Jesus told His disciples the same: “And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”Mark 16:15 NLT
Now if you are particularly obtuse you might argue ‘that was to the disciples then!’ So, why then are you a Christian? Do you not have good news? Do you not share good news with friends and family?
In The Lord’s Prayer we pray: ‘Your kingdom come, Your will be done!’ What is God’s will? That all men might know Him! How do they know Him if they do not hear?
Paul answers this question in Romans 10:14,25
“But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!””
Want praise for beautiful feet? Go!
