This past week I've been on a mission focused course called Kairos. This is an excellent course, which I strongly recommend everyone to take part in. The course really challenges your mindset of what it means to be a Christian, what the Bible says to us and that ultimately we have been blessed to be a blessing.
From the beginning to the end of the Bible, God is about all of the nations (tribes, people groups) across the world glorifying Him. This goes from Adam and Noah being told to go forth and multiply, to Abraham's nation being told that they have been chosen to reach the nations, (Blessed to be a blessing) then, when Jesus comes, he reaches out to Jew and Gentile before leaving the disciples with the commission to go and preach the Gospel to all Nations, which is our mandate as the Church.
So, the challenge for us is do we have a passion to see God glorified in every tribe and nation? Does our perspective reach that far? Are we happy to just receive Blessing from God without then being a blessing to others? Are we content that there are people groups in the World who have never heard the name of Jesus?
I could write a lot more, but I won't spoil it for those of you who want to do Kairos in the future. I will finish with this.
When Jesus says 'Go', what is your response?
