Send me?

Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2017

What makes anyone qualified to do the things that we do? That's a question I've asked a lot in the past few months. I went to a Christian university. Is that enough? I went on short-term mission trips. Maybe that makes me qualified! I have quiet time and some believe I'm a passionate person when I pray. The list of the things we do or know can go on forever and still many of us will question if we are qualified. 

Then again, how can we be qualified, we know our own personal sin. Not patient enough. Not submissive enough. What if you aren't confident in meeting strangers? When we start looking at the things that "disqualifies" us from doing the things that we do it can actually become convincing. 

But the things is...we are qualified if we personally have a relationship with Jesus. He gave us the command "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," (Matt. 28:19). But wait, there's more. 

“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name; make known among the nations what He has done” (Ps. 105:1)

“Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field’” (Matthew 9:37–38, NIV)

“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God” (Luke 12:8, NIV).

We are qualified because of Jesus' sacrifice, the empowering of the Holy Spirit, and the leading of the Father alone!
