Indeed! Personal Accounts of the Resurrection Story: The Apostles
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. – Matthew 28:19-20
Recommended Reading: Luke 24:45-49
From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus made it clear why He came to earth: “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10) and “to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). But it soon became clear to Jesus’ disciples that His mission would become their mission.
From day one, He made the disciples’ future clear: “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men” (Mark 1:17). They continually received expanded insights: “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain” (John 15:16). But it was only after His resurrection that Jesus gave His disciples their life-long mission: to go and make disciples in all the nations by baptizing and teaching new believers.
That was their mission then, and it is our mission today. The resurrected Christ is sending us into the world with His Gospel.
The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become.
