And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature”
Mark 16,15
The Savior charge the disciples with the mission to seek and save the lost, first on a limited scale (Matthew 10), and then, after His resurrection, on a worldwide scale:
1. Go…make disciples…baptize…teach…be with you. (Matthew 28:18-20)
2. Go…preach to everyone…baptize believers. (Mark 16:15-16)
3. Preach repentance and remission of sins to all nations. (Luke 24:46-48)
4. Witnesses of Christ unto all the earth. (Acts 1:8)
In the great commission, the Son of God left them with great responsibility:
1. The great claim: all authority in heaven and earth.
2. The great charge: bring all men under Christ’s rule.
3. The great promise: I am with you always, even to the end of the world
As Jesus transferred His mission to save the lost to His apostles, they transferred it to all the saved souls.
How wonderful to have the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the Lord and continue His mission.
Our mission at JCMM16 is to equip and perfect the saints for evangelistic ministry and for the edification of the Body of Christ so that each person can effectively supply the life of the Holy Spirit and operate in the gifts of the spirit, resulting in a unified body and salvation of souls.
