USE it on Tuesday.

This week's Sunday message was about being an Apostle of Christ. If you missed it, be sure to listen. The text was from Acts 1:1-8. You can read the text from Acts by clicking here.

Jesus gave the disciples a huge task after his resurrection and before he ascended into heaven. In Acts 1:8 Jesus says:

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Can you imagine what a huge task this was for them. After all, they started with only 12 people. There is a story told about Jesus return to heaven after giving the disciples this task:

Jesus reported to God and the angels of his time on earth – He had entrusted to his followers the responsibility to spread the good news of God’s love, to continue to tell the story, one of the angels gasped and said, “O, but Jesus, what is your plan if they fail?” And Jesus replied, “I have no other plan.”

So how is God using you as part of his play to spread the Gospel to the "ends of the earth?"
Pray this week about how God might use you in this way. Make St. Teresa of Avila's words your own:

Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

How are you being God's hands and feet in this world this week?
