Are you a missionary? You probably would say, “no”. We have this idea that missionaries are people who really, really loved Jesus, to the point that they are willing to leave behind the comforts of a home and family, go to the farthest and most darkest places of the world, live in a small village or somewhere, and suffer for Jesus their entire lives. But a careful study of Christ’s Great Commission on Mathew 28:19-20, give us a deeper understanding of this truth about  God’s heart for missions: that all Christians are missionaries. 

Yes, Jesus commissioned His disciples (and you and me) to live a disciple-making life. . . to help people find and follow Jesus. And Christ’s commissioning is an invitation to live a messy. . . life. . . together.
