Have you ever pondered, “What is actually my purpose?”
It’s safe to say that this question weighs heavily on many of us at some point in our lives. However, I want to share with you today that our purpose, as believers, is quite simple.
While each of us has our individual purposes orchestrated by God, collectively, we have one mission: to introduce people to Jesus.
Yes, it’s that simple! Every day, we should be asking ourselves, “How can I introduce my friends to Jesus?” or even those with whom we interact daily.
At the end of the day, the greatest commandment is to love God and love our neighbors. It’s through the love we have for God and the love we show others that draws them closer. It’s the fruit we bear in our lives.
The encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4 illustrates this beautifully. After encountering Jesus, her response is humbling.
Immediately after her encounter, she rushes back to her village, sharing her experience with everyone she meets. Not content with just telling them, she brings them back to encounter Jesus themselves.
What does she do? Introduce them to Jesus. Her actions speak volumes, demonstrating her desire for others to witness what she has experienced.
I believe this is the mission and purpose of every believer: to introduce others to Jesus after encountering Him ourselves.
So, I ask you: How can you introduce others to Jesus? Is it through inviting them to church, sharing a meal, showing hospitality, or building relationships that lead to meaningful conversations about Jesus? Take the initiative this week and share Jesus with someone!
