Missions Mindset Illustrated by Excellent Slideshow

Jesus assigned His followers (the Church) to be the incarnated (in flesh) presence of God. Oh my! -That's you and me, believer.

Whether in your Jerusalem (home town), Judea (surrounding region), Samaria (among "unloveables"; aren't we all - I mean unloveable) or in the uttermost parts of the Earth - by the power of the Holy Spirit and through intimate connection with Jesus, let us think, live and speak the Word of God incarnationally / missionally.



Jesus, the consummate missionary, "had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that: a crucifixion." (Philippians 2:5-8 MSG) We are to let this mind be in us as it was in Jesus!

  1. Great post, and a good reminder of how we are to strive for selflessness in a culture that teaches the opposite
