"More and more, I am learning the importance of asking good questions.Jesus asked good questions.
Remember the story of Jesus left behind at the Temple? Luke reports that his parents “found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers” (Luke 2:46-47)
Could it be that becoming more Christ-like means learning how to ask good questions about the things that matter most? Good questions can lead to good answers. Good questions can start good conversations. Good questions can provide learning opportunities..."
So in that spirit, I wonder....
Will there be missions in heaven?
Will there be missionaries there, actively engaged in spreading the gospel?
No doubt Christ expects His church to be missional this side of heaven! And certainly we still have our work cut out for us. But part of me can't help wonder, if we identify ourselves so strongly (or even exclusively) with the Great Commission, what happens once every knee is bowing and every tongue is confessing Jesus Christ is Lord?
But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:38-42).
