The Nature of Our Call

2 Corinthians 6:1-10

“We are workers together with God. So we beg you: Don’t let the grace that you received from God be for nothing. We are servants of God. We never give up, even though we face troubles, difficulties, and problems of every kind.”

Jesus say..”don’t fight back against someone who wants to do harm to you. If they hit you on the right cheek, let them hit the other cheek too.If anyone wants to sue you in court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too.If a soldier forces you to walk with him one mile, go with him two.Give to anyone who asks you for something. Don’t refuse to give to anyone who wants to borrow from you. -Mathew 5:38-42

We are all called for Gods mission like Jesus. “ the Holy Spirit will come on you and give you power. You will be my witnesses. You will tell people everywhere about me “-Acts 1:8

We receive the power to humbly submit us for this mission through the holy spirit that strengthened Jesus during all His trials. Jesus says ”I can assure you that whoever believes in me will do the same things I have done. And they will do even greater things than I have done, because I am going to the Father”- John14:12

If we believe we can see the glory of God. The nature of our call in our life is to follow the same as Jesus did. It is said”If we say we live in God, we must live the way Jesus lived. “- 1John 2:6 and in this mission “In your life together, think the way Christ Jesus thought.”- Philippians 2:6. Giving love for those who hate us and our enemies, sacrificing for those in need with what we have all in Gods love for his children and for His glory.

Hence He says”don’t fight back against someone who wants to do harm to you. If they hit you on the right cheek, let them hit the other cheek too. If anyone wants to sue you in court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too. If a soldier forces you to walk with him one mile, go with him two. Give to anyone who asks you for something. Don’t refuse to give to anyone who wants to borrow from you.”

Hence let us take up the mission that our Father have entrusted us, with the same attitude and feeling of mercy love and kindness, letting not the grace that we received from God go in vain. Let us humbly submit our life for God to act through us and use us. We do this by our perfect obedience to the inner voice of the Holy spirit gaining strength to all the trials we face in our way of life. Let us pray like Jesus did “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done. “Luke 22:42 and let us pray like our Mother Mary who pondered on the living word of god from the beginning till Calvary and even now, by interceding for us in our weaknesses, “And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. “-Luke 1:38

God gives us strength for what we are called for...just we must believe in Him and submit in perfection unto Him.

"Jesus has the power of God. And his power has given us everything we need to live a life devoted to God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus chose us by his glory and goodness, 4 through which he also gave us the very great and rich gifts that he promised us. With these gifts you can share in being like God. And so you will escape the ruin that comes to people in the world because of the evil things they want."2Peter1:3-4

Prayer

God loving Father thank you for giving us the right to called as your Children. Help us to submit ourselves unto you and fill us with strength of Holy Spirit so that we never give up in our mission of life, even though we face troubles, difficulties, and problems of every kind. Fill us with Your love.

In the name of the Father ,The son and The Holy Spirit. Amen
