CHURCH AND IT'S MISSION AND FUTURE IT'S MISSION
The mission of the church is to preach the gospel to all mankind. Jesus Himself gave this commission before He went back to His Father. "Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, 'This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later, and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem'" (Luke 24:45-47).
IT'S FUTURE
Christ loved the church and gave His life for it. For what purpose? "He did this to dedicate the church to God by his word, after making it clean by washing it in water, in order to present the church to himself in all its beauty--pure and faultless, without spot or wrinkle or any other imperfection" (Ephesians 5:26-27). The church will be praising God both in heaven and on earth where they will reign with Christ. "You have made them a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they shall rule on earth ... And I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, in the world below, and in the sea--all living beings in the universe--and they were singing: 'To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honor, glory and might, forever and ever!'" (Revelation 5:10, 13).
VERSE OF THE WEEK
This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later, and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
- Luke 24:45-47
