“M”—Mission
We must continually learn and teach the Gospel so that we may not lose sight of the great work that God is doing in our world. God is actively engaged in the wondrous work of reconciling all things to himself. It was for this that the Son of God came: God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself (2 Cor 5:19).
And this work continues in and through us, the body of Christ, gathered and dispersed throughout the world. The very work for which the Father sent the Son, the Son has now sent his church to continue (Matt 28:18-20; Jn 20:21).
And he promises to be with us always. Being in his presence must be taken as seriously as doing the work of mission, for mission can only have power when Christ is indwelling us and we him.
