Day 39

Ex 28:1-43 Matt 25:31-26:13 PS 31:9-18 PR 8:12-13

MT - If you have ever thought that being a christian was all about going to church, singing songs and putting in time until Jesus came back, then this passage of scripture in chapter 25 just blew your theory out of the water. Clearly Jesus has called us to be more.  There is such a balance to what our life is supposed to be. While we need to spend time studying and learning, fellowshiping with the saints and encouraging the body of believers, we can't ever forget what the reason is behind all that. We are called to GO INTO all the world and preach the gospel. In these verses He makes it clear how we can do that.  Practical ministry.  Practical outreach. Practical love.  Being the hands and feet of Jesus.  I really noticed that  none of these ministries occurred inside the church. It all took place outside the walls. Inside ministry is meant to build and empower us as believers to take the message out into the world.
