Sent TogetherSample

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where what you wanted to communicate seemed so simple, but it came off really confusing? Like your phone's autocorrect just wouldn't cooperate, or you accidentally sent an emoji that did not mean what you thought it meant, or you were trying to give someone a compliment, but they got really offended instead? Yeah, miscommunication is awkward, and we all do it sometimes. Before Jesus left earth, he gave us a pretty clear mission — but I wonder if we sometimes misunderstand what that mission is or how it's supposed to work. Here's just one way we sometimes get this wrong: when Jesus told his followers to go and make disciples, I think we sometimes think, "Okay, so what can I do? What's my role?" But we forget that Jesus wasn't just talking to you or me alone. He was talking to all of us. Together. So maybe a better question is this: "What can we do together?" Because Jesus' mission requires all of us. That's why Jesus sends us out together.
