An invitation

‘And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied them.’ Mark 16:20 (NRSV)

Jesus had ascended to Heaven after he completed his physical, earthly ministry. However, the Holy Spirit now begun a wonderful work among the believers. A work that continues over 2,000 years later. The Spirit’s work is ongoing – a labour that never ceases day in, day out. The Spirit confirms the words and work of Jesus. And this is accomplished in as many ways as there are grains of sand on the shore.

Our invitation is to respond to the varied ways that the Spirit moves in our lives. We are to welcome, rather than quench this movement. As a result, we become vessels who continue to transport the message of Jesus. Vessels of his power, his love, his life. We are hopeful signs to a loveless, weary world that Christ is alive and very much concerned about humanity. Through the work of the Spirit, we become vessels who allow the light of the Saviour to reach out and touch those in need of him. And that is pretty much everyone.

Let’s allow the Spirit to work with us. Respond eagerly to his promptings so that we might be vessels who continue to carry the good news of Jesus wherever and to whomever the Spirit leads us.

Lord help me to listen deeply and respond obediently to your Spirit. Lead me to do good wherever, whenever and to whomever I can. Help me to surrender my own agenda so that I have space to eagerly answer your promptings. Thank you
