As I write the newest article over at theRubicon is called What exactly is our mission? and a discussion is ensuing over its accuracy! In many ways that is an aside, but it does remind me of something that I’ve noticed on and off for years.
For too many Christian’s the focus is on the end result. It’s on the numbers who have been saved, or the size of their congregation, or how much they give. It’s on whether we should be preaching the gospel at all times, or on how we live our lives as Christian’s. Yet I’ve realised that this is not where our focus should be. It should be firmly on Jesus.
As soon as our focus becomes the means to the end, rather than the end itself, our direction slips. Let’s focus on Jesus and by doing so, both individually and as a community of believers, everything thing else in our walk as His disciples will surely slot into place.
