Commissioned!

For Saturday, July 1, 2023:

Romans 1:1 NLT: “This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach his Good News.”

Jesus had personally tapped Paul on the shoulder to be an apostle, a devoted follower of Jesus and a preacher of the Gospel. His conversion was beyond remarkable. He took his call very seriously. You might say that he jumped with both feet into the deep end! Paul never did anything half-way. While he accomplished a lot of ministry along the way, Paul’s ultimate goal was to bring the Gospel to Rome.

Jesus said we all should help with evangelism. Before he ascended, Jesus commissioned believers to make disciples of all nations. There were no exceptions and participation wasn’t optional. Our individual pieces of the evangelism puzzle may look different, but we’re all a necessary part of the equation.

Like Paul, we’ve all been chosen to help spread the Good News! We’re blessed to be a part of Jesus’ team!
