MISSION: WHAT MISSION DOES CHRIST COMMAND?
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Mission
a) Understanding the Mission of Christ’s church is nearly as important as understanding the Messiah himself. To what extent has the great commission (Mark 16:15) been fulfilled in the 21st Century compared to the 1st Century?
b) The Great Commission is traditionally used for Jesus’s command to his apostles to preach the gospel in all the world to all nations, and to baptize those who believe (Matthew 28:18-20).
2. What Mission Does Christ Command?
Colossians 1:5-7
5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel 6 which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth; 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
a) There is a certain "hope laid up in heaven" which anyone can know about, if they have "heard [it] in the word of truth, the gospel". This true hope is available wherever the gospel is preached, and the church’s mission is to preach it "in all the world".
