Day 37 (12 September 2018, Wednesday)
John 20:21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
Where does hope spring from? It sprouts from God because when there was no hope, he sent his Son to give life and to inaugurate his Kingdom. Jesus’ momentary renunciation of his privilege position changed forever the dynamics between life and death, mercy and judgment, hope and hopelessness.
“who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:6-8)
But it also changed the dynamics of our responsibilities. No longer strangers but his children and co-heirs, the task of continuing his work has fallen on all who believe in him.
Today in our country, Christians may be a minority in the national population (making up about 10% of the population only) but we need to understand our calling as God’s people and play our appointed roles in His mission whether as vocational ministry workers, people in the marketplace, students, retirees, homemakers or any other category. This way, hope will spread far afield and we will see communities and nations transformed.
