Why do mission?
In Matthew 25:31-46 we learn that the righteous in feeding the hungry, giving a drink to the thirsty, welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked, taking care of the sick, and visiting the prisoner were serving Christ without realizing it. Mission should be this natural and easy. But we know it is not always this way, which is why Jesus tells us this story —- to teach us how to become the church our heavenly Father wants us to be. Christ calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves and to work for justice for all God’s people. Through mission we demonstrate our faith. We are called to act boldly and with compassion.
