Living Out of OUR CALLING Instead of DRIVENNESS
Manage episode 377216122 series 2765501
Summary: On the night before he died, Jesus made the astonishing claim that he had completed the work the Father gave him to do. We wonder how Jesus could have talked about a completed work. His three-year ministry seemed all too short. For every prostitute whose heart he touched, hundreds remained untouched. For every blind man enabled to see, hundreds were still blind. Yet on that last night, with many urgent human needs unmet and useful tasks undone, the Lord said he had completed the work God had given him. How did he do that? That is the subject of today’s episode as we consider how best to be focused and effective in the mission assigned to us by King Jesus.
For further prayerful thought.
- In what ways is the term seek, the opposite of haphazard, unfocused living?
- Why do the pressures of life seem to take us everywhere but to the masters’ feet to talk with us about our mission?
- Almost everything about life, e.g. just buying groceries, is more effective with a plan (a list). Why don’t we think about a game plan for growing in Christ or loving our wives well?
