Motivation?

The focus in the modern church on the imperative nature of the great commission becomes a moot point when people have really experienced the love of Christ. The early disciples of the church said, “we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4: 20).

Nobody has to scold or shame us into caring about the lost, the least and the last of the world. We cannot do otherwise. We love because He loves us with such intensity that we can’t keep it to ourselves. We don’t want to keep it to ourselves!—Steve McVey, A Divine Invitation electronic edition
