Messiah The Missionary

Sunday, July 4, 2021

Who was the first missionary? Who was the first one to leave home for the foreign mission field? Paul? Silas? Barnabas? Philip? Peter? No. It was Messiah. Messiah left His home, Heaven, to come to the distant shores of a foreign land... the planet earth. All missions are reenactments and manifestations of the incarnation of Messiah leaving Heaven because of God's love and entering this world. If Messiah is the first missionary, then this world is the first and primary mission field. But if earth is your home, how can it be your mission field? If you're born again, then earth is not your home. You're born from above. Your home is heaven. You see, this world is either your home or your mission field. If you're not saved, it's your home. If you're saved then it's not your home, it's your mission field. So why on earth are you on earth? To hang out, get rich, expect from and take from the world? No. You're on earth to be a blessing, a light. To show forth God's love and spread forth His salvation. Get moving. You're already in the mission field.
