Missions, Missions, Missions

Missions. Missions. Missions. That is what we here from everyone all the time. Next week four of our family here, will leave for a mission trip. We will have a missionary here to present the work God has called him too. We ask for special offerings around Christmas and Easter to support extra missions efforts. We talk about being on Mission in our day-to-day lives. Why so much emphasis on missions? Well let me be frank about it. If we don’t tell people about Jesus who is going to do it? Aren’t you glad that a missionary shared the Gospel with the person who shared it with you? You might say to yourself it wasn’t a missionary that shared it. Well if you trace it back far enough you will see that it was. You see Jesus sent the twelve out as missionaries to carry the Gospel to the lost and dying. Jesus went a step further after His resurrection. He commanded us to carry the Gospel out. Now some might think I am not called to be a missionary. Well let me tell you that you have stinking thinking. If your saved you have been called. It is our responsibility to share the Good News with a lost and dying world. So yes Missions, Missions, Missions. Let us get busy.
