The Great Commission is the mandate of the Church, and all who belong to Christ are sent; also missions is not a department of the Church but the calling of every believer.
Not everyone is called to cross oceans, but everyone is called to bear responsibility.
Some will go.
Some will stay and send.
Some will labour in prayer
Some will give sacrificially to those who go.
But no one is permitted to stand aside, doing nothing. In God’s economy, there are no spectators.
It’s however unfortunate that millions have remained unreached in the world today because the Church, which is the agency that has been commissioned with the assignment of preaching the Gospel to them, has become more inward-focused and distracted, than doing the primary assignment that has been handed down to her.
There are also villages that are still in darkness, not because Christ is powerless, but because the Body has refused to arise to her original assignment of reaching the unreached and discipling the nations.
We cannot afford to keep our arms folded and do nothing about the unsaved who have remained unsaved right before our eyes for long.
