THE MISSION

So far, we have established the NEED for reaching our world and the MESSAGE of good news we must reach it with. Today will focus on the MISSION.

Did you know that in a study done in 2018 only 64% of Christians believed sharing their faith was a responsibility for all Christians? That number is down from 89% in 1993! The question we must ask ourselves is – is it my responsibility to share my faith? 

Three days after His death, Jesus rose from the grave, proving Himself alive over a period of forty days. In the final moments before He ascended back to heaven, Jesus gathered a small group of His followers: men and women, young and old, tradesmen and business people, mums and dads, students and dropouts, and gave them the most radical commission possible.

Speaking to everyday people who’d never travelled more than a few hundred kilometres from their hometown, Jesus inspired them to believe they could be used by God to impact their city, their nation, and their world. Any local church that takes Jesus’ command seriously will believe to do the same!

The reality is, this mission given to the early church wasn’t confined to a particular group of people at a particular place in time, it’s a mission that is for every generation of Christians everywhere until the second coming of Christ! That means the mission is for you. The mission of taking the gospel into our cities, nations and into the world at large is just as much your mission as it is the mission for the church pastor or traveling evangelist.

Mark Driscoll puts it like this: 

“God can save people without you, but he’s invited you and I to be part of his process.”

The early church understood this, and it was their commitment to this mission that saw the world completely changed. They understood that it was Christ in them that empowered them to carry out the mission.

We too can impact our world for good and for God if we embrace the mission given to us by Jesus. The mission is for everyone!
