OUR MISSION IN THIS WORLD

            On one occasion the Lord Jesus Christ said to his disciples, "As my Father hath sent me into the world, even so send I you." Christ was sent to preach the gospel; so are we. Christ was sent for the salvation of God's elect; so are we. Christ was sent to glorify God the Father; so are we. Christ was sent to do his Father's will; so are we. We must not allow anything, or anyone, to turn us aside from that mission for which we have been sent into this world. Let us serve the Lord, our God and Savior, on the tiptoe of expectation, anticipating his sudden  return. Soon our day of labor will be over.
