Second, you have to stick to your mission. Paul said. “Purple. Now I am bound in spirit to go to Jerusalem…” (verse 22). He knew that if he went up to Jerusalem, he would be bound. But he decided to go up to Jerusalem. He was not a fool. He was just a man who was bound by his heart. That is, he was obsessed with his mission. No matter how great hardships come, the unavoidable path, this path is the path of mission. We can set our mission in the face of extreme hardship or boring hardship. But the Lord will not let us go. Our hands may be loosed, but Your hand is firm. It is so weak that we hold on to our mission. If we hold onto the Lord, we may miss it But if the hand of the Lord, who has given us a mission, holds us up, our way is firm.
Third, we must not spare ourselves for our mission. Paul confessed. “I do not count my life of any value.” Who was the most talented person at the time of Paul's ministry? Is it Paul? no. In his ability to perform miracles, he was defeated by Peter. Peter raised the dead and brought thousands to the Lord at one meeting. Compared to Peter, Paul is very humble. In excellent speech and defense, he was inferior to Apollos. But he could be used more than Peter or Apollos. What's the secret? He did not spare himself. He did not spare his life. No one could beat him like this. I saw Park Ji-sung's feet on the Internet. There were many wounds on the small foot. I am thrilled to have flat feet there. He surprised the world with such a small foot. Because he ran without sparing himself. What can we do to impress the Lord? It's not about looks or science. It is a figure that does not spare himself for the Lord. The Lord acknowledges that he runs without sparing himself to fulfill the mission the Lord has given him.
