Matthew 28: 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Acts 1: 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Only a global mission is worthy of a global God. Someone disagreed on this statement with the pastor at a meeting that i had attended yesterday. Well, here are some perspective that i like to quickly offer...
Here are 2 key verses in each respective books -Matthew and Acts. Read carefully and you will see that God's heart is to reach out to NATIONS. Read the second half of Isaiah (from chpt 40 onwards) and you will discover why God has a plan and purpose to redeem Israel - so that one day, Israel can be the light of the world! Well, i think these couple of quotations are good enough for one to chew upon. I do think that God is indeed a global God.
Go Global, Stay Local. ;-)
