What is the purpose of life? And what is our individual calling? These are questions that everyone asks from time to time. Jesus give his disciples both a specific and a general mission. He calls his disciples by name and treats them as the unique individuals they are. He also gives them corporately the general call to do as he has done: preach good news, heal the sick and deliver people from the power of evil. We are all uniquely gifted. We are all part of a bigger plan. Receiving these the specific and universal call from Jesus gives us the purpose we're made for in life. It is in exercising it that we become fully alive.
