    Are you one sent by Jesus to share the gospel?
    Today's Gospel Lesson
    John 13: 16. `In all truth I tell you,
    No servant is greater than his master,
    No messenger is greater than the one who sent him.
    17. `Now that you know this, blessed are you if you behave accordingly.
    18. I am not speaking about all of you: I know the ones I have chosen; but what scripture says must be fulfilled:
    `He who shares my table takes advantage of me.
    19. I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen
    You may believe that I am He.
    20. In all truth I tell you,
    Whoever welcomes the one I send, welcomes me,
    And whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me."
    Notice that there are several things to be learned by this gospel lesson.
    Comment on it all if you wish but please answer the question, "Are you one of those sent by Jesus to share His good news?"
    :)Peace and kindness,:)

    Jesus spoke strongly of actions, not words. Those who feel sent to tell others that their truth is the only truth are frequently talking out of the side of their neck. Those who act as Jesus acted are seen as good people.

    Chosen implies predestination. Jesus chooses us, we don't choose him. The one he was not speaking to was Judas the betrayer. Although Judas WAS chosen to be one of the twelve, he WAS NOT chosen for eternal life.
    The way we treat others... Jesus said, unto the least of these, what you do FOR them, you also do for me, and also, what you do TO them, you also do to me. In the same way, what people do to us or for us, it is like they are doing it to God directly. WHY? Because we are created by Him in His image, from the "least" to the "greatest" and that He said so.

    Yes, I'm sent as all true believers are. For we are to become a nation of priests. I'm the sheep that hears the voice of his shepherd, his king , his God, his friend, his Saviour, his Lord, His redeemer, for they all are one... The Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his Glory, the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father.
