QUESTION

What is my mission?

What is God’s mission given to us and how do I fulfill it without it becoming a feeling of another thing I have to do for God? And based upon that, What is needed at the personal, and church level to shape culture and to be on strategic mission?

  1. God’s mission is different for every one of us. Because God has a given each of us a different set of gifts.  We must seek to discern what our particular mission is. Maybe it is to be a great Christian mechanic who is known for doing the best work. Or an excellent teacher. Or cook!
  2. For most of us, our primary mission is to be the best husband or wife, mother or father, we can be. We must constantly ask God for grace to do well on our mission, and use the means of grace the Church offers to help us fulfill our mission.
  3. Once we have discerned what our particular mission is, we won’t feel we “have” to do it. For it is God’s work and we have a special role to play in that work. What a privilege! What a joy! To know that what we do today, even if no one notices, will have a role to play in God’s work of redemption. He sees it, even if no one else does.
  4. Remember that when we are helping that kid or neighbor or customer, Jesus said that when we do anything as unto him we are really doing it for him. Especially when it is for “the least of these my brethren.”

In the Great Commission in Matthew 28, the church is given the tasks of making disciples of all nations, and baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Those who carry out this task are the ordained officers of the church.  What is needed is for the church to be the church, faithful in the exercise of the mark of the church—reading and preaching the Word of God, administering the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and administering discipline.

Always keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, crucified, risen from the dead. Consciously rely on the promised aid of the Holy Spirit. Don’t be imprisoned by past failure and in that sense forget what is behind but press on toward the mark of your high calling in Christ. There are obligations in the covenant – the righteousness of the law is to be filled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Rom 8:4). So we need teaching on this. In other words, the whole counsel of God needs to be covered in local churches. Utilising the Shorter Catechism of the Westminster Assembly would be very helpful.

A repeat on Sam but let me say this.  We must continue to come to Jesus and charge the throne of grace until “the love of Christ compels us” (2 Cor. 5:14,15).  If we are content to get about mission and ministry without this love stirring and pulsating in us, we ought to read 1 Cor.13 again.  “If I give my body to be burned but do not have love, etc”. In the end, this is the only kind of ministry and mission that is going to have the fingerprint of God on it.

A strategic view of the church’s work remembers the centrality of the Great Commandments (“Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and love thy neighbor as thyself”) and the Great Commission (“Make disciples of all nations”). Love demands costly action but must begin in a heart imprinted with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Culture is all that people think, say, and do that flows from the heart of God’s image-bearers. Where you fit into that mission and how you contribute to culture depends on your personal calling and the sphere of responsibility that God has given to you—it varies from Christian to Christian.

God’s mission is a function of his original purpose to form a people for himself. That’s what Israel was to have been: “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Ex. 19:6). The eternal God freely chose to share his life with creatures that he made in his image. This is the original mystery of God’s grace. God ultimately accomplished his mission through the work of his Son and Spirit. It is through Jesus’ death and resurrection and ascension and gift of the Spirit that the church – the society of Jesus – becomes “a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession” (1 Pet. 2:9).

What is needed at the church level is formation. Each member of the church has to be formed to be a member of this holy nation. Each of us has to become a citizen of the gospel, so that we can live a life worthy of our high and holy calling: to be God’s special representatives on earth, ambassadors of Jesus Christ. The church’s mission follows from Jesus’ Great Commission to make disciples. That involves teaching doctrine and spiritual formation. That’s the church’s mission, and that’s the way to shape the culture of a holy nation.

God has called us out of darkness of sin into the light of his salvation.  Our first “mission” is captured perfectly in Susan Warner’s children’s song:

Jesus bids us shine with a clear, pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night;
In this world of darkness, we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.

I am concerned about overwhelming God’s people today with grandiose visions of transforming culture along with accompanying strategic missions to change the world. In my humble opinion, the most strategic “mission” for orthodox, evangelical Christians today is to work hard on cultivating strong Christ-centered marriages and loving, stable families.  That addresses the gravest crisis of our society and culture and will be a correcting, renewing social and cultural gospel effect. Beyond that, I would underscore what I said in #4 above: Go where God has called you.

God has created us in his image so that we might act as his representatives in this world. He gives us work to do. He gives us purpose and meaning. He is all-powerful and can make whatever he wants. But in his grace he has deigned to use human beings as instruments in making things the way he wants them to be. And he has a purpose for each person who has ever lived and will ever live. He is so perfect and there are such depths to his love and magnificence that his “image” can never be captured or perfectly manifested in any single person (with the exception of that most exceptional person, Jesus Christ himself). As one of my favorite theologians Abraham Kuyper puts it, “The mere fact that God created a man and a woman proves indisputably that identical uniformity was not part of the plan of creation. So we may draw no other conclusion than that the rich variety among people, in terms of aptitude and talent, came forth from the creation itself and belongs to the essence of human nature. If this is so, then it follows automatically that in relation to the image of God, no single human being bears this feature of God in its fullness, but that all talent and all genius together comprise the capacity for incorporating within itself this fullness of the thought of God.”

Well, it is certainly “another thing I have to do.” It is something God commands, among others. But I don’t think I should ever look at his commands as burdensome. The mission, particularly, is at the center of God’s plan for the world, and it is a great privilege for us to be a part of it. What is needed is for each believer to do all things to the glory of God, to take the gifts and abilities God has given and to find out how these gifts can be used to bring godly change in his environment. When we seek to do our daily work to God’s glory, we will inevitably shape that part of culture in which God has placed us. And we will at the same time be drawing other people to see Christ in us and themselves to come into his kingdom.
