THE Dream Job

We're quickly approaching another Remember and Celebrate weekend in Kids Adventure. R & C is all about looking back at the past six weeks to see what God has led us to do.  Some of our time was spent looking into the life of John the Baptist.  God appointed John to prepare the way for the coming Messiah!  That may not mean much to you but to a Jewish man, this was THE dream job.  Every Jew anticipated the Messiah's coming.

Apparently, John did a fantastic job.  He had crowds flocking to him listening to his preparatory messages.  He baptized many.  His influence was huge.  But what interests me most about John is what made him different.  John was a recluse.  He ate strange things and dressed in very uncommon clothes.  He probably didn't smell very nice and he most likely wasn't very diplomatic.  So what's the point?

Glad you asked.  Far too many people think that modern day "Johns" are the pastors and Bible scholars of our day.  Not so!  The fact is that ALL of us are called to be "Johns".  Jesus Himself gave us THE dream job.  Go and tell who I am and what I have done!  So why don't more of us go?  I can't help but think a big reason for this is because we don't meet OUR expectations of who we should be before we are qualified to go.  If you met John I guarantee he would not meet my qualifications . . . but he met God's!  If you've given your life to God then you are qualified, just the way you are right now, to take on this calling.

Who can you "GO" to today?  A neighbor, co-worker, family member, Facebook friend?  Ask God to help you prepare the way for people to receive the good news of Jesus.  Be intentional.  Write a few names down and start looking for ways to spread the news.  Hey, it's THE dream job God has gifted you for.

Parents, here's the new Homefront weekly.  Take a look and plan some time with your family.  Get your children ready for a super day at Kids Adventure this Sunday.
