“As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” (John 17:18-19 KJV).
Our Lord Jesus Christ was sent full of grace and truth from the Father to us, so we could be restored as His beloved children by grace. Now the Lord Jesus sends his disciples (and us who believes and are born again) into the world to make a difference for those we meet and show them how they can be different from the world. The Lord Jesus Christ submits himself totally to the Father’s will so that our mission and our future and our lives can belong to the Father, as well. Our mission is God-led, God-inspired, and God-willed. We are His, and our mission is His. Why? Because all who follow Jesus, all who call him Lord, belong to God! We are His children and co-heirs with Christ! (Romans 8:17).
Apostle Paul affirms in his exhortations to the believers in Ephesus, and to us being the Lord’s redeemed in these last days: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.” (Ephesians 1:3-6 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!
