HOW WE LEARN OUR MISSION

HOW WE LEARN OUR MISSION

I do not see that anyone could learn his mission but in nearness to the Lord. I see that in John 20: 21 the Lord sent His disciples, they were sent by Him. I read in Ephesians 4: 7, that “unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ”. I am assured that there is a special grace given to each (as each christian is a member of Christ’s body), but I find that very few christians have learned from Christ what his or her special mission definitely is. It is plain enough that every christian is called of God to something definite. The real difficulty is to ascertain the speciality, and this I do not think can be ascertained but in nearness to the Lord, and when you are interested in His interests. We first learn that He is interested in us, and then we gradually become interested in His interests.
