Does your life have a mission? Yes. Every life has a purpose. Every life has a mission. The question is (play the theme music) will you choose to accept it?
Will you choose to accept the mission God has for your life? Will you change your agenda to God’s? Will you let God be in charge of your life?
I always loved the openings to Mission Impossible because the mission was laid out and then the message self destructed. The characters then had to decide right then and there whether or not to accept or decline the mission.
The mission is pretty simple. It is explained in scripture this way:
“Go into all the world making disciples, baptizing them, teaching them,” Matthew 28:19
or
“Love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:9
The single, most important way to love one another is to share the good news with them – and the best way to do that is to love them as Jesus has loved you.
To do this requires a special dedication because not everyone you meet will be lovable to our human senses. It requires a dedication to God’s will instead of our own. A dedication to God’s agenda instead of my own. A real commitment to the part of the Lord’s Prayer we often gloss over saying:
“Thy Kingdom come, THY will be done.” Matthew 6:10
You have a mission. Will you choose to accept it?
