TOZER DEVOTIONALThu, January 14, 2021Fulfilling Our CommissionOne mighty fact there is which for us men overwhelms all other considerations and gives significance to everything we do. It is that the human race has left its first estate and is morally and spiritually fallen. Since the fall of man the earth has been a disaster area and everyone lives with a critical emergency. Nothing is normal. Everything is wrong and everyone is wrong until made right by the redeeming work of Christ and the effective operation of the Holy Spirit. The universal disaster of the Fall compels us to think differently about our obligation to our fellow men. What would be entirely permissible under normal conditions becomes wrong in the present situation, and many things not otherwise required are necessary because of abnormal conditions.VerseAgain Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."John 20:21ThoughtOur Lord Jesus Christ has sent us into the world as the Father sent Him. We do not come as redeemers but as the Lord's "EMS" Sent Ones, witnessing of Him by life and word.PrayerLord, so easily I fall into tedium as if all were well in the world. Shock me into seeing the emergency!
