Answering the Call/Commissioned

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
Matthew 6:29

"This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
John 6:39

"We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
John 9:4

"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
John 4:33

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Isaiah 6:8

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Matthew 28:19

In the New Covenant (Testament) Jesus often referred to His Father as "the One who sent Me". Jesus came, being the obedient Son, because God the Father sent Him, commissioned Him, called Him.
"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him." 1 John 4:9
Jesus, who we are called to follow, didn't hesitate to obey/answer His Dad. Before His ascension, He proclaimed that we would do greater things! There's just one thing: who's will are we willing submit to, our fleshly desires or God's? We each have a destiny, God-given gifts and a calling. It's no surprise that God's plans are better than ours, but we often struggle- do we sew into the flesh or the spirit- into that which is temporal or eternal? This is why the Word tells us to submit ourselves to God's will. Spend time in His Word- God's owners' manual for our lives, obey God- obedience is better than sacrifice, cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us.
Seek Him today, be still and listen to the still small voice, and answer His call.
