What do the Great Commission and plastics have in common?

What do the Great Commission and plastics have in common? No, it’s not nothing. It would be really weird to ask the question and then immediately end by saying, “Nothing”. So think again. What is it?

The image gives a clue.

It’s a plastic bottle. Someplace it doesn’t belong. Probably laying on the side of a path or trail. Someone needed a drink, finished off the contents of the bottle, and dropped it.

Something similar happens with the Great Commission. If you don’t know what it is, hang in there, it’s coming. The similarity between plastics and the Great Commission comes in like this. We walk along the paths of our life. Many Christians are aware of the Great Commission. But as we go through life, we just toss it aside, because it’s not a good time, it’s inconvenient, embarrassing, and tons of other reasons.

Just like we have so many reasons for not carrying that bottle to the next trash can or recycling bin.

In both cases, we know we should “do the right thing”. But we don’t.
