Earth Shakers
Hudson Taylor
Matthew 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
This is the ultimate mission from the ultimate authority telling us what our biggest purpose is in life!
The STAKES are HIGH and you have a huge PURPOSE!
“Can all the Christians in England sit still with folded arms while these multitudes [in China] are perishing—perishing for lack of knowledge—for lack of that knowledge which England possesses so richly?”
“There the Lord conquered my unbelief, and I surrendered myself to God for this service. I told him that all responsibility as to the issues and consequences must rest with him; that as his servant it was mine to obey and to follow him.”
“If I had a thousand pounds China should have it- if I had a thousand lives, China should have them. No! Not China, but Christ. Can we do too much for Him? Can we do enough for such a precious Saviour?”
“I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.”
“God's works done in God's way will never lack God's supplies”
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
Matthew 16:24
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
1 John 5:14
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
