This week we are going to be looking at what "mission" is. It isn't so much about "missions" or "mission trips" or anything like that. The way I see it, the world is in disarray. People are full of hatred, sadness and pain. God created a good world with good creatures. Somewhere things went wrong.
And this is where the mission of God comes in. God is sad that people are estranged, both to himself and to others. So God continued creating, this time he created a plan to bring his beloved children back to himself. He came up with a way to be a righteous judge and a loving savior all at the same time.
So now, I believe the Mission of God in the world is being manifested in the church. Sometimes we do it well, but most of the time we do it very poorly. We have altar calls and we invited people to "get saved" but then we have very little follow through on what it means to be continually saved. God wants to continue saving us, day by day.
What do you think about the Mission of God? How can we do a better job?
