What’s In Me For This?
Luke 4:14-21
You have heard it said, “What’s in this for me?” Someone wants to know what their gain will be in giving of themselves to something. What if instead we said, “What’s In Me For This?” What if our first inclination was to prayerfully assess our ability to be an asset to the person, the cause, the issue? Instead of questioning what we might be losing, consider what the kingdom is gaining. In this Luke text Jesus makes a big first impression. He claims his Father-given authority to be the mission statement borrowed from the book of Isaiah. Jesus is God’s mission to the world, and the church exists because of that mission. What is in you for the mission of God’s church? Listen to this message to consider our individual and collective charge to be God’s mission statement to God’s world, in the name of Jesus Christ.
