Platt:
Rather than being based on what we can do, this mission is based on who Jesus is and what He is able to do in and through our lives. Christ is able to do "beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us" (Eph 3:20). Oh, how we need to put aside small dreams and worldly ambitions. We need to give Christ a blank check with our lives and then see where He leads.
Together, let's experience the power of His presence with us. We want to be a part of something that is beyond us, something that requires supernatural strength. We don't want to be preoccupied with programs and practices that we can manage on our own. We should be desperate for the power of Jesus.
We know that obedience to the Great Commission will not be easy, and we know it will be costly. But we also know that it will be worth it. Jesus will return and His reward will be infinitely greater than any cost we have paid. So together, let's hope in the promise of His return for us. The kingdom of our Lord Jesus will one day be fully and finally established, and we will see His face (Rev 22:4). We are living—and longing—for that day.
