Jesus once spoke words that continue to echo through generations: “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John 20:21). These words were not spoken with force, but with deep love and purpose. Jesus was sent to heal the broken, feed the hungry, forgive sinners, and restore hope. When He sends us in the same way, He calls us to carry His heart—one filled with love, humility, and compassion—into a hurting world.
Jesus’ life showed us how to be sent. He walked among the poor, touched the untouchable, and welcomed those rejected by society. He did not come to be served, but to serve, teaching us that true mission begins with humility. As Scripture says, “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister” (Mark 10:45). Being sent by Jesus means lowering ourselves so that others may be lifted.
Sending with love means seeing people through God’s eyes. Jesus looked beyond sin, poverty, and weakness, and saw souls worth saving. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son” (John 3:16). In the same way, when we are sent, we go not to judge, but to love; not to condemn, but to restore. Love becomes the message before any words are spoken.
Sending with kindness and compassion reflects the heart of Christ. The Bible tells us, “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted” (Ephesians 4:32). Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, and comforted the grieving. When we follow His sending, our hands become His hands, our words His words, and our actions living sermons that point people back to God.
Finally, being sent by Jesus is a call to obedience and sacrifice. He sends us into difficult places, trusting that His presence goes with us. As He promised, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20). When we go in His name—sent with love, humility, and kindness—we continue His mission, carrying hope to the lost and light to the darkest places.
