Is He Really My Lord?

Complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which we were created and born again can bring joy to us when we are successfully doing something of our own choosing. The joy our Lord Jesus Christ experienced came from doing what the Father sent Him to do. And He says to us, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21).

If you have received a ministry from the Lord, then faithfully consider your life valuable only for the purpose of fulfilling that ministry. Knowing that you are trying to be like Jesus can be satisfying. For in the end you will hear Him say to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21).

If you have received a ministry from the Lord Jesus, the call is to be in true fellowship with Him. It means that you have to be sensitive to what God has called you to do, and that may sometimes require ignoring demands for service in other areas.
