Cornerstone Bible Study - 8/3 "I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves"

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study.

Jesus sent forth his disciples and gave detailed instructions on how they should conduct themselves. In the same way, he is calling each and every one of us today. I quote the following from "A devotional commentary of Luke's Gospel":

""Mission" can mean many things. It can mean honoring and praising God right where you are, thanking him for all he has given us in Christ. It can mean bringing our children to know Jesus. If we are young, it can mean caring for the old. If we are old, it can mean praying for the young. It can mean bearing witness to the lordship of Jesus in our daily lives. Any deed performed in love and joy can be a way of fulfilling our mission here on earth."

It's great to know we do not have to be great "missionaries" who travel to far away places to perform our mission. Though some of us may be called to do that, it's where we are placed that we can start to proclaim the peace of Christ by allowing our example to infect others with the desire to love.

God Bless,

Maria
