Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV)“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,Because He has anointed MeTo preach the gospel to the poor;He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captivesAnd recovery of sight to the blind,To set at liberty those who are oppressed;To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

Overview

Jesus’ statement of mission to His church:

Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Mission Statement of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to make disciples of all people, communicating the everlasting gospel in the context of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6-12, leading them to accept Jesus as personal Savior and unite with His remnant Church, discipling them to serve Him as Lord, and preparing them for His soon return.

When the church began, our mission placed us among people who had traditions of Christianity.

Today, however, mission takes us to populations that are rooted in other world religion.

Call to Mission

DA297 “As His representatives among men, Christ does not choose angels who have never fallen, but human beings, men of like passions with those they seek to save. Christ took upon Himself humanity, that He might reach humanity. Divinity needed humanity; for it required both the divine and the human to bring salvation to the world. Divinity needed humanity, that humanity might afford a channel of communication between God and man.”

Formula for Mission

AA262 “One of the strongest evidences of true conversion is love to God and man. Those who accept Jesus as their Redeemer have a deep, sincere love for others of like precious faith”

GOD’S PLAN FOR MISSION

Zechariah 4:6 “So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:

Not by might nor by power,

but by My Spirit,’”



DA287 “We are to be laborers together with the heavenly angels in presenting Jesus to the world. With almost impatient eagerness the angels wait for our co-operation; for man must be the channel to communicate with man. And when we give ourselves to Christ in wholehearted devotion, angels rejoice that they may speak through our voices to reveal God’s love.”

Cooperation of Angels:



Matthew 24:14 (NKJV)

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
