Key Message for Leaders:
“There John left them and returned to Jerusalem.” —Acts 13:13
John Mark walked away—not from a task, but from the mission. And if we’re honest, many of us are tempted to do the same. It’s easy to serve when the mission feels safe, when it looks like charity, when people praise us for it. Relief missions are tangible, noble, and necessary. But evangelistic missions—those that proclaim Christ, call for conversion, and invite people into discipleship—are far harder. They demand not only our resources but our courage, our faith, and our willingness to be uncomfortable.
We must ask ourselves: Have we also quietly left the mission?
It is a stumbling block when we fail to keep the main thing the main thing. The main thing is Jesus Christ and the salvation of souls. Not programs. Not comfort. Not maintenance. When we prioritize safety over mission, convenience over courage, or activity over evangelization, we risk becoming churches that do everything except what Jesus commanded: “Go and make disciples.”
Evangelization is not optional. It is the heart of the Church’s identity. And yet we often take the easy way out, busying ourselves with good things while avoiding the best and most necessary thing—leading people to Christ.
We are, in effect, attempting the mission impossible—trying to fulfill the Church's calling without proclaiming the Gospel. It doesn’t work. It never has.
Let us not criticize John Mark unless we are first willing to admit where we, too, have turned back. Let us repent, return, and recommit ourselves to the mission—fully, boldly, and without excuse. If we know this, we will be blessed only if we put it into practice (John 13:17).
