Jesus
is who we put forward, advising, urging, and teaching everyone with all wisdom
of the Spirit. We do this so we may see each life be filled and completed as a
work of Christ Jesus. (Colossians 1:28)
Your community – all the people God has
called you to influence and love – is hungry. These people need hope. They need
life that is meaningful; that has purpose. They need Jesus – the bread of life
(John 6:35). If they are going to last; to make it over the long haul of lives
and generations, these people must be unified. Unity will be formed around
their definition of the common future they will pursue – your vision. Real,
lasting change begins to happen when your people begin to move in the same
direction.
As Paul observed, this happens one person at
a time. As you share the vision God has given you for His future, you point
each person toward Him. Advising, urging, and teaching the values critical to
the work and the success of the group will bring people to pursue right ends
and change what they desire, and how they pursue those desires.
Put the vision God has given you firmly in
your people’s consciousness and help them find the full, complete lives God
desires for them.
