Message of the Gospel
The church is called to proclaim the Good News of the kingdom of God in every inhabited corner of the earth . After his resurrection, Jesus declared that “ all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me; therefore , go and make disciples of all nations .” During his ministry, the disciples were not to preach to the Gentiles, though he did so several times in anticipation of the opening of the gospel to the “ nations .” But initially, they were to proclaim it only to the “ lost sheep of Israel ” - [ Photo by Ben White on Unsplash ].
