Sooner or later, every skydiver into the
Kingdom realizes that God has ordained them to serve in His Mission. This is what the apostle says about the
Mission.
2
Corinthians 5:
18 All
this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the
ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in
Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the
message of reconciliation.
The
disciple of Jesus commits to becoming a peacemaker. Reconciliation is the
coming together of two parties that were separated by offence. The fact that
God has done that for us in Christ means He has changed his view from seeing us
as sinners to saints. Jesus landed on the ground to make peace between God and
man. We have landed to share in Christ’s mission of bringing peace.
Are you
on mission to see people being restored to relationship with God or do you have
the past dragging you along to judge, find fault and lower view of humanity? The past brought you to this point in time, but the past can also be
a drag and a heavy, dangerous weight.
Your mission from God depends on unstrapping the old view of
humanity.
If God can put our sins on Christ and give us His righteousness, why do we want to hang on to a less than godly view? Without Christ, we are left with all of our unrighteousness and there is no way home to the Father.
Let’s unstrap the worldly view and put on
Jesus’ outlook. This includes how you previously viewed yourself through the
lens of the world. To know Jesus is to the beginning of knowing yourself. How
else can we begin to understand the eyes of the Creator?
