About This Quote
I believe that God has called us to tell him about Jesus among all other things. In the Bible, He said this about this mission “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) I know only one way to be a good missionary. I must make sure I do everything Jesus did. This requires me to follow him in trust and obedience.
It means that I must do my job well. It means that I must serve others well despite their lack of faith in Jesus or dislike for Christianity. In these ways, I can most fully embody what Jesus did and bring glory to God.
