At the end of Matthew Christ gives a statement. A statement that should not be taken lightly. He says to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He also tells them to teach them the commands that Jesus has taught them.” This is a statement that he gives us to live out everyday. This statement should be our lives. One of the things I have realized this week is that we get so caught up in the next thing in our lives: What College am i going to, when am i going to get a promotion, what vacation are we going on next summer. We get so caught up in the world, and we miss what God has for us. We miss that there are people out in this world, and even in America who don’t know who Christ is, and they don’t have clothes, and don’t know when they are going to have their next meal. The truth is that we don’t have to go to another country to do missions. We don’t have to spend all day in a airport and on a airplane to do missions. We can do missions right across the street where we live. We went to feed children today. Most of the kids we served the meal to today is the only meal they would have.
