Recently, I had a conversation with my boys at bedtime about Jesus' mission - and of course I was struck by the fact that these four young men are who I'm called to first, if I'm going to follow Jesus' on His mission.  This has me thinking a lot about how Jesus did what He did, how He lived, how He connected with and loved people, how He made disciples.

“God has initiated every part of His work throughout history. Instead of carrying out His mission on His own, God chooses to accomplish His mission in a very personal way.

By the end last night, we were all pretty emotionally wiped. But we were also celebrating. God’s grace, His love, His mercy, His pursuit – and the power of the Gospel to transform lives.
