SENT OUT - Embracing Your God-Given PurposeSample

Day 5: Living Sent

To live as followers of Christ is to live sent. John 20:21 reminds us, “...As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” This calling is not for pastors or missionaries alone—it’s for every believer. We are called to be ambassadors of Christ, carrying His love and truth into our daily lives. 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 describes this as the ministry of reconciliation, making us vessels of hope in a broken world. As Abraham Kuyper once said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, ‘Mine!" Living sent requires intentionality. It means seeing every interaction as an opportunity to reflect Christ. It means prioritizing God’s mission over personal agendas. And it means embracing the truth that God has uniquely equipped you to make a difference. As you close this reading plan, remember the promise of Philippians 1:6: “...He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion...” You are a work in progress, sent by God to share His love and truth. Step into this calling with boldness, knowing He will equip you for every good work.

Reflection Questions:

1. How can you embrace your role as a “sent” follower of Jesus?
2. What specific opportunities do you have to share God’s love with others?
3. How can you reflect Christ more intentionally in your daily life?

Action Step: Commit to living as a “sent” follower by identifying one person to encourage, serve, or share the gospel with this week.
