Listen to TEACH

January 11, 2011 by Mark Miller 1 Comment

David Platt wrote the following in his book Radical:

We are, by nature, receivers. Even if we have a desire to learn God’s Word, we still listen from a default self-centered mind-set that is always asking, What can I get out of this? But as we have seen, this is unbiblical Christianity. What if we changed the question whenever we gathered to learn God’s Word? What if we began to think, How can I listen to his Word so that I am equipped to teach this Word to others? ….When we realize that we have the responsibility to teach the Word, it changes everything about how we hear the Word.

The lesson reminded me that I am His ambassador and as his ambassador, I am his representative and my authority and my mission comes from Christ. May I live my life in such a way that people see Christ in me and know that I am his ambassador.
