•Is not man’s life on earth a drudgery? Are not his days those of hirelings? He is a slave who longs for the shade, a hireling who waits for his wages. (Job 7:1,2)
•He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
•I have made myself a slave to all so as to win over as many as possible. (1 Corinthians 9:19)
•He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them. (Mark 1:31)

 

•What is Jesus’ mission?
•What is Paul’s mission?
•What is your mission?

This is crucial: we must be converted—and we must continue to be converted! We must let the Holy Spirit change our lives! We must respond to Jesus Christ. And we must be open to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit who will continue to convert as we follow Christ. If our faith is alive, it will be aroused again and again as we mature as disciples.<sup>1
