Towards the conclusion of John's gospel, Jesus spends a great deal of time explaining to the disciples what they are called to do after his resurrection. Jesus' message to the disciples is all about empowerment. Jesus tells them that as he is one with God, they are one with Him. Jesus unleashes the disciples into the world to transform the world, knowing that as the disciples are one with Him, there is no limit to what they can do in His name.
God enters into our lives to unleash us into the world to live as God's holy people, for the transformation of the world. God knows the unlimited potential that lies within us, because we are God's children and bear the image of God within us. All that is required from us is to do what it is natural for us to do: to reflect the nature of the God who is our Father and sacrifice ourselves for others as God in Jesus sacrificed Himself for the world.
Supporting the work and mission of Caney Spring United Methodist Church and Berlin United Methodist Church, two churches partnered in the ministry of making disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world, located in Marshall County, Tennessee.
