Will newer people be better at the mission job?

Learning Point No 260





In 1978 message Lord Bo Tien illustrated His task as a contractor who was entrusted with a building project. No matter rain or shine, the contractor had to employ workers to complete the building. If the workers failed to cooperate with him or boycotted him, he had to keep on employing new workers to do the job until the whole building project was completed.

Thus in a mission related temple of the lord saint, if there is change of management with change in style, this may indicate that the new management with new workers will be the one to complete the mission but the mission is not just charity in worldly sense, the mission is to spread the doctrine of the Four Pillars far and wide and if they can do so then they are the ones to do the job of the mission but if not then they too will have to give way to another group of workers.  

 

Will newer people be better at the job? One cannot be sure if the existing lot is still at the job, has indeed already done a good job and can do better (if not the best) with time.

We must reflect on what the lord saint said with regards to the mission and why it has to do with doctrine and not just charity.

Lord Bo Tien did say at the end of 1978 message that the Aged Home was a good charitable deed, which they had accomplished and it was in line with His wish to have it built. Now that the Aged Home had been established, it was time to put forward His Doctrine. He said, "Good deeds are in many forms." At the present place (Woodlands Singapore), it was known that every effort put in had brought forth fruits for all to see and yet many are ignorant of His Doctrine.
