Assigned by God
The Bible frequently speaks of the responsibilities given to those who follow Jesus. But there is one assignment given that is so large, so all encompassing, that every other commission aligns its purpose to the fulfilment of that one.

And the fulfilment is the realisation of God’s dream through the cooperation of those made in His image. God’s dream includes our redemption but it is as big as ‘may it be on earth as it is in heaven’.
