So, Jesus said to them again, “Peace be to you; just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you." John 20:21
Jesus sent out his disciples, Just as God had sent Him to proclaim the good news (glorifies Jesus). Let's marvel at that for a moment. Jesus appointed 12 men of God to go out as He did and to preach the good news (Glorifies Jesus). What would that have been like to have Jesus with you and to learn and be taught by Him. What was Jesus preparing his Disciples for, to become missionaries which means someone sent by Jesus just as God sent Him. If you read your bible this was to a world that wanted nothing to do with Jesus.
Jesus commissioned his disciples to go just as it say, in Matthew 28: 19-20 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” they are to become missionaries to teach all that Jesus had told them and commanded them to do. They were to go throughout the world and glorify the name of Jesus.
There are different types of missionaries I believe. there are those who are called to go to a foreign country and be the light and glorify Jesus. Then are local missionaries who do the same as the ones who go to a foreign county but locally. Then there is everyone else, we are also called to be missionaries or a least to have missionary mindset. We are to be the light of the world and glorify Jesus just as the disciples did.
You will know which one you are called to by a spiritual gift test, by prayer, or by God giving you a heart for one of them, but we all called to missionaries in some sort of way.
Tomorrow we will continue the discussion on Missionary and missions.
