We were both created for and commissioned by God to embark on the mission of God. The clearest place that this mission is laid out for us is in the Great Commission that Jesus gave His disciples at the very end of His time here on earth. This mission is a very costly one. The price tag is very high. We relinquish our rights for the sake of the gospel and rearrange our lives for the spread of the gospel, and we do it all with joyful hearts of obedience.
