Greetings from Malawi!
Whether the field into which God has placed you is African bush or concrete jungle or countryside or farmland,
just imagine what could be done...
Oh, the prayers that could be said!
Oh, the praises that could be sung!
Oh, the peace that could be shared!
Oh, the people who could be saved!
What possibilities lie before us! Family. Congregation. Synod.
So much to do, so little time.
Do you, too, detect urgency in the following statement of Jesus?
"As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work." (2)
He's not saying, "Don't sleep!" But isn't He saying, "There's plenty of work to do!" I suppose He could have given this special gospel work to angels, but he didn't. He gave it to us.
How would you describe gospel work? Demanding? Challenging? Scary? Intimidating?
Ever think of it as...exciting? > more May Communiqué
