Jesus’ mission was to proclaim the Good News to the whole world. John 3:16 and 17 tells us that God’s love for the world and His desire for people to receive eternal life is what motivated Him to send His Son to earth in the first place.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

This mission continued throughout Jesus’ life on earth, and still continues today. In the moments before He ascended back into heaven, Jesus was still focused on preaching the gospel to the ends of the earth, saying:

“you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

The work of International Workers literally brings the Good News to far away and unreached places with the goal of honoring and glorifying Jesus. It begins with a sincere love for Him and a commitment to continuing the work He began on earth.

Take a moment to look at these works of art. Each one acknowledges that Jesus is at the center of our motivation for spreading the gospel.

As you reflect on these pieces, give Jesus praise. You can articulate your praise out loud, quietly under your breath, or silently in your head. Thank Him for who He is, express your adoration, ponder His worthiness to receive praise from every nation, tribe and tongue.

From that posture of adoration and praise, can you renew your commitment to do your part in advancing His mission on earth?
