People don’t know what they’re missing.

As a young christian (I’ve been thinking about that lately) it seemed to me that the church didn’t know Jesus. I mean they understood salvation and looked forward to heaven but they didn’t seem to have any experiencial knowledge of Jesus. I decided that someone should fix that problem. So I’ve spent most of my life trying to show and tell Jesus to the world around me.

Now I’m an older christian ( I’ve been thinking about this too) and it seems to me that things haven’t improved much. The world around us is coming apart at the seams and we seem content to let them. The Bible says we should be and I want to be like my savior Jesus:

Jesus came to earth as a missionary
Jesus’ first priority was His mission
He had time for relationship with His Father (prayer and meditation)
He had time for relationship with friends and family (disciple making)
He had time for the community around Him (outreach)

People don’t know what they’re missing and I’m not sure if they are going to hear. It is time to throw off the distractions of this life and get to work on the mission Jesus gave to us.
