Lent: The one who sent me

Read John 7:14-36.

Key verse: While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he called out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I come from. But I’m not here on my own. The one who sent me is true, and you don’t know him. But I know him because I come from him, and he sent me to you.” John 7: 28-29

I was struck in this passage about Jesus teaching in the temple that 5 times he talks about being sent and knowing the one who sent him. I think part of having the same attitude of Jesus is to know that we are sent and that we know the One who is sending us.

Maybe that’s part of what it means to be a missional church. To have that attitude of being sent – of being part of God’s mission in the world. His mission to redeem His creation.
