Disciples Share Jesus’ Heart to
For Unity in Going on Mission
There are multiple kinds of unity for followers of Jesus: unity of the faith, unity in the Lord’s Supper, unity under the Spirit – and in the theme this week – unity in our mission for Jesus.
Luke 5:31-32
It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
~ Jesus
Pondering Point
When Jesus came to us, it was to call sinners to repentance. When we came to Jesus at first, it was as sinners in need of repentance (and a Savior).
And while we continue to struggle with sin – and therefore continue to come to Jesus in repentance – we no longer come merely as sinners, but as people made righteous through faith in Jesus. And to boot, every time we go out from our encounter with Jesus (see tomorrow's devotion), we go with a message of healing that other sick folks can benefit from in their own way.
Prayer
Thanks Doc Jesus for healing me.
In Your name I pray. Amen.
