The Key To The Missionary's Work
The Key To The Missionary's Work

"Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...' "

( Matthew 28:18-19)

 

The key to the missionary's work is the authority of Jesus, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don't go-He simply says,"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." He says, "Go on the basis of the revealed truth of My sovereignty, teaching and preaching out of your living experience of Me." 

  "Then he eleven disciples went ...to the mountain tha Jesus had appointed to them" (28:16), If I want to know the universal sovereignty of Christ, I must know him myself. I must take the time to worhship the One whose name I bear. Jesus says," Come to Me..."- that is the place to meet Jesus-" all you who labor and are heavy laden..." (Matthew 11:28)-- and how many missionaries are! We completely dismiss these wonderful words of the universal Sovereign of the world, but they are the words of Jesus to His disciples meant for here and now.

 "Go therefore..." To "go" simply means to live.

Acts1:8 is the discriptionof how to go, Jesus did not say in the verse ," Go into Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria," but, "....you shall be witness to Me, and My words abide in you..."

(John 15:7)--that is the way to keep going. where we are placed is then a mater of indiffernence o us, because God sovereignly engineers our goings.

    "None of these things move Me;  nor do they count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and ministry  which I received from the Lord Jesus..."(Acts 20:14).

That is how to keep going until we are gone from this life.
