Mission – A Real Purpose for Life

GETTING STARTED:

1. Think of a time when you received good news and were really excited as a result. 

2. Think of a time when you received such great news that you had to tell everyone about it. 

A LOOK AT THE BIBLE:

While reading through today's verses in Mark 10:46¬52, consider these questions:      

• Bartimaeus was excited even before he was healed. Why?       
• Why didn't the shouts of the crowd stop him? Have you ever been criticised for something you believe?       
• What do you believe followers of Jesus have to be excited about? 

REFLECTION:

What good reasons do you see so far in your journey for considering the good news about Jesus to be true? 

If you are a follower of Jesus, who would you like to have a conversation with, to encourage them to consider this news? 

PRAYER:

Dear God,

Thank you for loving me, even before I knew about you. Thank you for the purpose and hope you bring to my life. Thank you that now no task is pointless, because you see my heart and will reward me according to my motives. Please help me to comprehend all these blessings, so that I will be glad to tell others about what you have done. In Jesus' name I ask, Amen
