Have you ever gone into a store to buy something but forgot to bring your wallet? Isn't that embarrassing? Whenever we have a task to do, we are wise to make sure we have everything that we need to accomplish that task. That is not only true with small tasks, but
also with big missions. You wouldn't want to start a building project without first gathering the right materials. So ask yourself: What is your greatest mission on earth? Do you have what you need to accomplish that mission? In our readings, sermon, and hymns today we will see that Jesus had to ask Himself that same question while He was on earth. Through His experience, drawn from Scripture, we can find what we need and make our mission far from impossible.
