Joining Jesus on his mission

Could It Be This Simple?

It truly is mind-boggling: Jesus knows everything about everybody. Nothing is hidden from Him. Jesus knows our hearts perfectly – even better than we do. Yet in spite of our flaws and failures, Jesus always chooses to love us.

So it shouldn’t surprise us that Jesus enjoyed spending as much time as possible with people. Even though He had a huge mission to accomplish in a limited period of time, Jesus was continually hanging out with friends, attending parties, enjoying meals at people’s homes and sharing stories with large groups of people. Since investing so much time in building friendships and relationships was crucial to Jesus, why should it be any different for us?

This week we will discover that developing and enjoying relationships provides many opportunities to share the love of Christ through our words and actions. As we’re truly interested in our neighbors’ lives, eventually sharing the Gospel will come as a natural progression. As we have freely received love and grace, what a privilege and joy it is to freely give these blessings to others.
