“And
the famine was over all the face of the earth.” Genesis 41:56
The media can quickly and daily project
images of tragedy after tragedy into our homes and consciences. Unimaginable
suffering is taking place all around us. There is a famine of hope and inner
peace that rises like a swelling tide across the face of the earth. The vacant
eyes of the hurting, the cries of abandoned babies, the visible signs of
unspeakable atrocities remind us of one thing – sin is a harsh taskmaster.
All the world is bound under the
curse of sin and all the world will ultimately pay the final punishment for
that sin – death. But God has provided hope in despair, comfort in sorrow,
peace in turmoil, and that hope is Jesus Christ. Why missions? Take one look at
the world around us and the question is answered. The world needs hope, peace,
comfort, but mostly it needs forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal
life. All those things come only through Jesus Christ.
Dear Father, Help us not to forget the
great missionary call of Christ. Amen.
