As we begin a new year it is an opportune time to consider the opportunities to do missions right here where we live. A passage that can help us think about that is found in Matthew 25:31-46. In this passage Jesus is looking forward to the time when he will return to earth in all his glory and separate the sheep, His followers, from the goats, those who have chosen not to follow him.
In verses 34-40 Jesus is talking about us, His followers, and says, “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Missionary Moment
by Tim Batchelor
. . . be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. I Corinthians 15:58
One of my yearly traditions for the Christmas season is to watch the movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Each time I watch I am struck by the scene where the angel, Clarence, gives George Bailey the opportunity to see life as it would be if he had never lived. What he saw startled him. The town Pharmacist had become the town drunk because of a fatal error he made in a prescription that was discovered by his clerk, George Bailey (but who was not there to catch the error). His brother would have drowned and therefore would not have been there to shoot down an enemy plane which subsequently sank a military transport resulting in the death of hundreds of sailors.
