What Is the Work God Has Called Us to Do?

On the last night of His physical life, Christ said "I have finished the work You have given Me to do." His work was complete, but the Work of God goes on until His return to earth. That Work is led by God, but we must be about doing that Work. What is the work God has called us to do? Are we seeking His will and doing it the same way Christ would have done it? Are our hearts in the Work God has called us to? We will look at Biblical examples of how Christ and His apostles did the Work they were commissioned to do.
