Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Did you know that God has a very specific purpose for your life? His last command to His disciples should be our first concern—to go and make disciples. However, when we hear this, I think sometimes we convince ourselves that this means that we need to sell all that we have and move to a different country and to be a missionary for Jesus. And while that may be the call for some, what Jesus means is that while we are going through life…we are to make disciples. Whatever we are doing in our day-to-day life, we are to be focused on telling others the Good News. Oliver shared on what’s my story dot org: “I spend time with unbelieving friends weekly at orchestra. I didn’t used to put any significance on that time, but now I understand that it has a purpose–I have a Great Commission, and they’re watching me. This informs the way I speak, it informs the way I treat others, and the way I act, and the way I work.” For resources to you share, visit www.sharelife.today.
