Christ’s Authority and Presence Empower Our Mission
Christ’s Authority and Presence Empower Our Mission
Jesus never sends us out alone. The Great Commission is not a burden we carry by ourselves, but a mission we fulfill with His authority and presence. When you step out to share your faith, you are not relying on your own strength or eloquence. Jesus promises to be with you, guiding your words and working in the hearts of those you reach.
This truth frees us from fear and insecurity. The results are not up to us; our job is to be faithful and trust God to do what only He can do. When you remember that you go in Christ’s name and with His power, you can step out boldly, knowing that heaven backs you up.
Judges 6:16 (KJV): “And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.”
Reflection: Where do you feel inadequate or afraid to share your faith? How does knowing Jesus is with you change your willingness to step out?
