This first day is to help you begin to Seize the Mission of Jesus as your own. As followers of Jesus, Christians must align themselves and their activities with Jesus’ mission. You don’t need to discover your own personal mission in life, but rather to know, understand, and embrace Jesus’ mission.

In order to do this you must answer the question – What is Jesus’ mission?

Then you can consider – What is my part in Jesus’ mission?
