WE GET TO BE THIS
Today’s scripture: Acts 17:22-28
As Christians, we get to be the Church, the hands and feet of Jesus. God does
not need to use us, yet desires and chooses to use us for the purposes of his Kingdom.
The great news is that God does not expect us to perform spiritual transactions
so that we are considered “good enough” in his eyes. God wants us to
know him first and foremost, and to be transformed by the Holy Spirit to be sent to
serve his Kingdom mission. What better news is that?
