The ‘why’ question is always the most important question to consider when we think about doing something. And that is no less true when we contemplate the call to “go and make disciples of all nations.” (Mt 28:19) Why should I? For what purpose? Why me? They are all essential questions to ask. And the answer, partially answered last Sunday, is the authority of Jesus and God’s amazing plan of redemption. That is, it’s because of who Jesus is and what God is doing. It’s bigger than any individual’s agenda, opinion or disdain. It’s bigger than this world and as sure as this world revolves around the sun. That’s the essential perspective we need if we’re going to be involved in God’s plan, making learners of Jesus, for his glory.
