Do I do it because Christ's love compels me that I am convinced He died for all people including me?
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. (2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NIV)
Am I living for him or something else? And I doing ministry for Jesus or some other reason?
It hit me in thinking about our vision statements. It's easy to jump to what are we going to do. What's our mission.
To know Christ and make Him known in every corner at CU. Which is awesome!
But why? Why do we want to know Christ? Why do we think others need to know about him so much that we will put ourselves at risk for others to know him?
I want to remember my motivation that Christs love came first demonstrated most completely in his death. And that my response my motivation is gratitude. And that Christs love was for those who don't know him and that I want them to know him too. And Jesus commanded us to make disciples to share this message so they can know him and his love for them.
Center my heart and ministry and my whole life on this!
Amen
