Assignment

Helplessness is a common feeling when we are in a difficult transition. So, having something meaningful to do can foster resiliency. Part of Jesus' shepherding was pointing the disciples to the task ahead of them: they were to continue the works he has been doing (v. 12), pray in his name (v. 13-14), and obey his commandments (v. 15, 21). How might these assignments impact them and their mission (v. 19)? How would doing these assignments enable them to stay in a loving relationship with him (v. 21)? Ask Jesus to show you what particular assignment he has for you at this time.
