Day 5: Don’t Let Guilt Be Your Motivation
When it comes to partnering with Jesus toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission, it is important to check our motives. While “guilt” is a motivation that may work in the short term, we do not find this method in the Scriptures, be it in Jesus’ or the apostles’ examples.
The Great Commission is a lifelong calling that can only be sustained through the natural outpouring of our abiding relationship with Christ. Guilt may effectively motivate us for short spurts, but burnout always waits on the other side of our own strength. May we ever look to Jesus as our example for life and ministry.
