Why missions?
Missions is one of those words we toss around a lot in the church, but it is not always clear what we mean by it. Our understanding of what the term means begins long before missionaries were sent out from Hawthorne Gospel Church. In fact, it begins before Paul and Barnabas went out or even before Jonah and Abraham.
Missions begins in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. By His act of creation — particularly human creation in His own image — God showed us His desire to be known. He made us in His image so that we could know Him and personally relate to Him. God designed it so that we would best flourish as individuals and as communities when we live in that relationship.
In Genesis chapter 3 we find that sin disrupted that relationship and caused a separation from God so that we cannot flourish as he intended for us to do. But God in His grace, beginning with Abraham in Genesis chapter 12, put together a rescue plan to restore that relationship. From the beginning God chose to work out this redemptive plan through events, history, and His people.
The culmination of this redemptive plan is God sending His one and only son to be born, die, and rise again from the dead so that we can have the forgiveness of sin and have our relationship with Him restored. In other words, the story of the Bible is of the mission of God being worked out through his people for the sake of all the nations. God then invites and commands his people to participate in this plan so that all the nations will know of Him and enjoy a relationship with Him. This is what missions is all about – it is about the people of God continuing God’s great plan of redemption that started in Genesis. Sharing this message of what God has done is the heart of missions.
Matthew 28:18–20 includes a description of how we are to participate in God’s mission – we are to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to obey all that Jesus commanded. This is called the Great Commission and in it Jesus tells us what the mission is and what our role is in it.
