Imagine needing heart bypass surgery. When meeting your surgeon, you ask, “How many of these have you done?” He smiles and says, “You’re my very first patient!” Would you feel honored—or anxious? For important jobs, we know qualifications matter. And what job could be more important than sharing the good news of salvation? You might expect Jesus to entrust that task to the most qualified, like the angels. But instead, he sends the least qualified first. In love, Jesus doesn’t leave us unprepared. He calls sinners into his presence, cleanses us, equips us, and sends us out. Once forgiven, we eagerly become the messengers through whom God works. This is your epiphany moment: You may feel unqualified to share the gospel, but Jesus calls and sends you—just as you are. The least qualified are the first sent.
