As I have loved you with an everlasting love, even so I call you to be a living example of My love to the people you interact with throughout your day. As the Father sent me, even so I am sending you to the world around you (John 20:21). My Spirit in you will give you a heart of compassion for the poor in spirit and a desire to reach those who hunger and thirst for truth and justice (Matthew 5:3–6).
As you step out to share the good news with others, you will be My hands reaching out to those in need. You will be My eyes to weep for those who are weary and sad. You will be My feet to walk the extra mile to reach people with My message of love, hope, salvation, and forgiveness.
My first disciples were everyday men and women like you. After I returned to heaven, I sent the Holy Spirit to lead and guide them, and I commissioned them to go into all the world to proclaim the gospel (Matthew 28:19–20). As they fulfilled My commission, My church grew, and the world was changed forever.
Each of My followers has been given a mission and a calling to be an everyday witness and a living example of My love. My disciples are the salt of the earth, and I sprinkle them freely across the nations that they may bring out the flavor of My love and truth and make My name known to the nations (Matthew 5:13).
