ANSWER
Everyday mission happens when our mission field sees the choices we make
READ
1 Peter 2:11â3:22
YOUâRE CRAZY
PEOPLE SHOULD THINK WEâRE LEGITIMATELY CRAZY.
Paul tells Christians in Corinth, âIf in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.â1 We do have hope, joy, and purpose beyond this life only, because of Jesusâ resurrection. If that hope is real to us, then the way we live, the things we spend money on, the choices we make, and everything we do looks different than those in our mission field. When people look at our daily lives and see things like generosity in relative poverty, joy in the midst of pain, the way we forgive and show graceâto even the hardest people in our lives, they shouldnât just see us as a little different from themselves. Instead, Paul is teaching that we should live in a way that makes folks wonder if weâve got a few screws loose. They should see such a massive difference that they may even pity us, because they donât get the seemingly illogical, erratic decisions we make. This lifestyle has nothing to do with self-glory or a desire to be seen but is instead the natural response to realizing the life-changing reality of the gospel. Because of Jesusâ work in us, our lives, choices, and decisions are marked by gospel abnormality.
