What sort of Mission?
The starting point has to be
"The Great Commission"
but which version will you use?
| Matthew
(28.18ff) |
"Make
disciples" |
| Luke
(24.48) and Acts (1.6-8) |
"You
are witnesses" |
| John
(20.19-23) |
"As
the Father sent me.." |
| which
Paul explains like this (2 Corinthians 4.10): |
"Bearing
in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus might be
manifest in our mortal flesh" |
Arising from this, any number of 'definitions of mission' as
possible!
