Recruited

Chad Balthrop • Colossians 3:12-17

We see it in the movies all the time. Against all odds, the athletic underdog unexpectedly ends up on the select team. The awkward teenager develops
abilities that transform him from zero to hero. The lonely orphan discovers she’s the one to lead her people to victory. Every story ever told points to one significant truth. We all want to be chosen.

There’s a reason these stories are so compelling. That longing in your heart is a cry for something more. Scripture reminds us that every follower of Christ is chosen by God for a purpose. Can others see His character in you? Will you walk with the people He calls His own? Do you know His words and follow His ways? Can you hear the sound of salvation falling? You’ve been recruited. When you know who you are you’ll know what to do.
