“...a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.” – John 13:16

Our master is our Lord Jesus Christ and we as His followers, disciples and messengers have but one duty – to make Him known to others around us.

The message of God’s love, forgiveness and grace may be shared through the witness of our lives, through our interaction with each other in filial love - accepting and respecting one another, or simply through our gentle words.

In fulfilling this duty, we must remember that we have been ‘sent’ by Christ and that is why we deliver His message and not our own. Keeping this in mind, we must ‘diminish’ and allow the Spirit to lead our actions and inspire our words. This means that we do not seek recognition, reward or reputation but allow Christ to take centre-stage in all that we do.

God has a purpose for each of us in His plan of salvation and we, as Christ’s disciples, need to offer ourselves as instruments to make this a reality.
