The Mission Of The Church by yommyuk: 12:12am On Dec 31, 2010 |
God sent Jesus Christ into the world to proclaim his glory and to testify the Good News of redemption. John 8:18 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.” In his departure, Jesus passed this mission on to the Holy Spirit John 16:5-11 5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. It is the Holy Spirit who in turn fills the church and empowers believers (christians) to fulfill the mission of Jesus Christ in the world. Matthew 28:18-20 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Acts 1:7-8 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” CONCLUSION Philippians 4:13 "For I can do EVERYTHING thru Christ who gives me strength" - I will say a big hallelua and Amen to that May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit at all times. God bless |
