Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Foreign Missions: Being Chapters I, II, VII, VIII, IX of Modern Missions in the East The original and sole Master Missionary is our Lord Jesus Christ, and as Lord of his kingdom he has put his own divine commission upon his followers. It is "Come!" "Go!" two commands in one. "Come, learn of me!" "Go, preach the gospel!" His first command to his disciples was, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men"; his last, "Go ye and make disciples of all the nations." Discipleship and apostleship are one and inseparable. The instinct of true Christian life is everywhere the same. We learn but to teach; we know of Jesus but to tell of Jesus. We commune with him but to communicate him. Even so are we sent as he has been sent. The commission is identical; and it is in virtue of that final command and according to our fulfilment of it that we are to experience his fulfilment of the final promise, a promise made to a militant missionary church, not to one that is at ease in Zion. Just so far as his church accepts her responsibility for teaching all nations to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded her may she expect to hear the voice of him to whom all authority has been given in heaven and on earth, saying, "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world." Thus the church is a coin of divine minting. One side shows the likeness of its Lord, the other the map of the world.
