Acts 20:24 (Contemporary English Version)
24But I don't care what happens to me, as long as I finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do. And that work is to tell the good news about God's great kindness.
Focus, that is what Paul had, ha was focused from the time in Damascus to the outskirts of Rome. He remained focused even with the stoning, beatings, lashings, ship wrecks, jail time, lynch mobs and all the way up to meet the heads mans sword.
But what is truly remarkable isn’t so much that he was focused, but that he was focused on the kingdom of God. He focused only on the task that was given to him, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
We too are given a task. As the body of believers, we are called to make disciples; which includes sharing the Good News of Christ. We are supposed to continue to the work of Paul in making disciples.
My prayer for each of us this summer is that as a church, we can refocus on sharing the Good News. Here at Doniphan UMC, the ground work for the kingdom is being laid every day, but we, the inheritors of the task at hand, need to refocus and take on the single-mindedness that Paul displayed throughout his ministry, the focus on sharing the Good News.
It’s time to Focus and pray that we can finish the task ahead for Christ.
Amen
