About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of being sanctified for a unique purpose in the workplace as followers of Christ.
In John 17:17, Jesus prays for his followers saying, " Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. " But what does Jesus mean by sanctify? The Greek word used for sanctify in this verse is hagiazo and it means to separate something – to set it apart – for an intended purpose or mission . In other words, Jesus intended that all those who follow after him would be set apart for a unique purpose and mission: to spread the good news of the gospel to the world. And guess, what? This same mission extends to you today! You have been strategically placed in your workplace for a reason. There are people there who need to hear about the truth of who Jesus is, and you may be their only chance! So, how can you carry out the mission of Christ at work today?
