Jesus' mission


A mission statement is something that directs a business or a person that seeks to understand the purpose God gave or why they exist.  Knowing why we are alive makes a huge difference in us making a difference in this world.

When we get off course from our mission statement, all of a sudden, we’re not doing what our company was created to do. It defines the basics and essentials. For example, 

Jesus had a mission statement: 

Luke 19:10 NASB
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

What drives you?  We know what drove Jesus.  We know why He died and the reason why He lives again and forever. May we know His mission and even take it as ours.

What drives you for the kingdom?  Joshua was one of those guys who knew that God had a plan for Him.  To take on the mission God had for him.  That would take loads of courage and even a little risk

Joshua 1:8-9  NASB
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

As we continue our series Who’s Your One?may our mission become one that leads people to know what will last long after we have died or left earth.  The only way to know that is to know Jesus and to share Him with others.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
