Every Christian Has to Be a Missionary

in
 

In today’s reading (Acts 13:1-12), Barnabas and Paul begin the first of their so-called “missionary journeys”.

A missionary is someone who is sent; every Christian who takes Jesus seriously has been sent as a missionary:

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Followers of Jesus are supposed to go everywhere and teach everything Jesus taught.

Where are you going this week?

To the office? A Zoom call? The grocery store?

No matter where you go, you are going as a missionary.

How can you share the Good News when you get there?
