The Most Important Mission

James Bond became a famous action hero because he always had some crazy mission that he was brazen enough to actually complete. I doubt Mr. Bond would have become such an icon if he played it safe all his life. But I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve noticed how in literature and movies the action heroes never play it safe. Now, I\u2019m not saying there\u2019s anything wrong with being safe and responsible \u2013 that\u2019s actually admirable. But I do believe that as followers of the Lord Jesus, we\u2019re called to live more boldly than we sometimes actually do.As followers of Christ, we are also given a very important mission: to spread the Good News Gospel to the ends of the earth! This takes courage, wisdom, and discernment. It often means we\u2019ll be uncomfortable, but the outcome will be great. The more we can build the kingdom of Heaven, the better for people\u2019s eternal wellbeing. Don\u2019t you agree? The Bible says in Matthew 28:19, \u201cGo therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.\u201d Isn\u2019t it amazing that God would call you and me as human beings to be His voice around the world? Ask God what part He wants you to play in your world in this important mission. This is Luis Palau.
