Christ’s
School
Where did He send
them? First to Israel,
but then to Samaria (to Jewish syncretists) and to the
uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8). The mission did not
begin and end with the Jews.
–He made this clear in Matt. 28:18-20, where
He told them to “go and make disciples of all nations.” Some try to make even these
passages say that we should stay in Jerusalem.
–Does the mission of your church and its leaders
begin and end with your own people? Or does she go into all the
world?
