==============================
A student has a total of 160 credits for graduation, but he did not graduate after completing 180 credits. This is because the elective courses were full of credits, but the required courses were not completed. There are also elective and compulsory subjects in faith.
"Missionary" is a compulsory subject. This is a command given by the will of Jesus Christ. 4 At the end of the Gospels
We see that it ends with a "missionary mandate."
In the Gospel of Matthew
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me; 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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, behold, I I will always be with you.
“(Matthew 28:18-20).
The most important point here is who gave the missionary command. And what kind of person he is. It was Jesus Christ who gave the missionary command. Jesus Christ is who has all authority in heaven and on earth. Jesus lived on this earth for 33 years, but he showed us only 3 years of his public life. He is a person who has been preparing for 30 years to show the 3 years. There are people who live unprepared for being led by the Holy Spirit. someone pointed to the church
"
The church has faith, but there are no countermeasures!” That is what Jesus pointed out. At the beginning of his public life, Jesus selected 12 disciples and trained them intensively for three years. Those disciples who betrayed their master and had their arms crossed, Judas Iscariot, Peter who swore and cursed and denied, and all the disrespectful disciples who ran away when Jesus was arrested, even in the world of thieves and fists, trying to help and protect their colleagues if they have difficulties But Jesus raised 11 such disciples and made his last will
He says, “Make disciples of all nations.” It means to make four disciples: Greece, which was the definitive plate of all wisdom, Rome, which was conquering the world at that time, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China, where civilization flourished. How could that be possible? It was possible because Jesus Christ had all authority in heaven and on earth. Eventually, Rome was disarmed by Christianity, and Greece studied and worshiped God. Personally, I am delighted to see the power of the Holy Spirit working in China recently, and the Chinese Communist Party estimates that there are currently 200 million Christians in China. It was during China's Cultural Revolution, the most difficult and persecuted period, that the gospel was preached with such power.
In Mark 16:15,
In the Gospel of Luke
"
I give thanks and praise that one corner stone down there was used as a foundation to build a bridge for the gospel in Africa.”
If the Gospel of Matthew tells of the Lord's authority, the Gospel of Mark tells us where to go, and the Gospel of Luke tells us that the goal must be achieved, the Gospel of John shows how glorious it is to do missionary work.
"Jesus said again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."
(John 20:21)
“As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21).
“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.”
(Acts 1:8)
If you do not do missionary work while being filled with the Holy Spirit, the filling of the Holy Spirit is false. The filling of the Holy Spirit ultimately leads to mission. In 1999, we need to think about whether we are holding on to the great mission the Lord has given us. The whole church should be full of missionaries. As an outgoing missionary, and as an outgoing missionary. Make a commitment to your missionary offering. Have a missionary and pray every day. The missionaries who went out with my support will be victorious in the mission field.
