This past week I watched a true to life movie based on 1980 takeover of the Iranian Embassy in London by Arab terrorists. For six days the British government tried to negotiate the release of 25 hostages. Ultimately the resolution came down to the courage and training of an elite British military unit that had to storm the embassy to save the hostages and bring the terrorists to justice. The weight of raid rested on one man and his men to do it right while the world watched on television. The raid was successful saving 23 of the 25 hostages and bringing the terrorists to justice. Margaret Thatcher publicly congratulated the unit for their bravery and skill. In 1 Thessalonians 2:4, the Holy Spirit reminds us of the sacred mission God has entrusted to us. Our crucial mission is to deliver the Gospel to those estranged from God. Our mission will fail if we fail to share the Gospel. When serving Christ self-seeking will prevent us from faithfully carrying out our mission.
