How has God uniquely shaped you for His mission in the world? Let's take a moment to consider again, that mission is not our work and it isn't the invention, responsibility or program of the church.

Reader...

Jesus is the true image of God in human form. And as we serve others, seek the best for others, and love our enemies, we are becoming more like Christ. How does this help God's work in the world?
