Now often you hear debates along these lines – Oh but I am a father, I am a mother. My calling is to my family. My entire calling is to make sure that I properly look after and provide for as a father, as a mother, train, teach, counsel, comfort, help, serve my family, my children. It sounds grand, and yes, in a measure it is right. We have these responsibilities before God, we have a calling as parents, but it does not eclipse our ultimate and our higher calling. We have a priority, we have a supreme calling. It does not detract from the other, but it is our supreme calling – to be sent as his representatives into the world like him. Now of course, there are certain things that only Christ could do. Only he could live a perfect life. So perfect and so glorious that it could deserve and earn heaven for all his people. Only he could die an atoning death and take in his own body on Calvary’s tree the eternal weight of punishment for his people. So there are certain things which only he could do, only he can atone. But we are called to make that known, to make him known, to make his perfections known, and his atoning death for sinners known. As the Father sent him on a mission, but with components in that mission far too divine and illustrious for us, so nevertheless we are sent with a similar mission to make him known. It is our highest priority. It is the calling of every Christian not to be, as the saying goes, an armchair Christian but to be a representative of Christ. So certainly you are called to your family, it is your ministry, but your priority and your overarching, your great ministry is to be his representative because he sends you as the Father sent him.
