Why "Go"?
As followers of Jesus we are invited to go. We believe the way of Life that Jesus came to offer is the best way. He taught by example, and His life was characterized by going. Going to the outcast and forgotten, the ones deemed unworthy by others. The very act of Him coming to earth was Him leaving (going from) His home, His throne, His Father, to connect with us, where we are.
Why go you may ask, because we choose the way of Jesus, reaching out to people right where they are, in the exact state that they find themselves in, proclaiming "i will dwell with you.", "you are not forgotten.", "there is hope!"
Jesus didn't focus on religious rules- He helped people, He spent time with people, He loved those who most of us try to avoid. It didn't seem to matter who the people were, (neighbors or foreigners, rich or poor, sick or healthy, free or slave, man or woman) He engaged them and you can't engage people without going. This is why we 'go': because, as followers of Christ, there is a life inside us that must be shared, and in sharing it with others we serve Jesus himself. He said when you feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and captive, hold an orphan, hug a mourning widow, whatever you have done for the least you have done it for Him.
So we go; next door, across the street, around the city, across a nation, and around the world, and it is our joy!
amazed by grace,
Justin
