How is the Work of God
Accomplished Today?
Jesus Christ gave His Church a mission. What is that mission, and how is
it being done today?
by Roger Foster
Did you know that Jesus personally
began a special work that has endured for almost 2,000 years? He immersed
His physical life in firmly establishing that work. Once, because He had been
too busy to eat, He told His disciples, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent
Me, and to finish His work" (John 4:34). Later He established His Church to
continue that sacred mission.
What is that "work," and how is it sustained in today's chaotic world?
The work of the Church has two primary aspects. First, the Church is commissioned
to announce to humanity the incredible significance of Jesus Christ's second coming.
Most people can see that our world is filled with problems that defy human solutions.
But few people understand how the returning Jesus Christ will solve these
dilemmas of mankind. He has commissioned His Church to make that knowledge available
to a confused world.
Just before He ascended to heaven, Jesus told His apostles, "Go into all the world
and preach the good news (His gospel) to all creation" (Mark 16:15; New International
Version). Earlier He had told them that "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" (Matthew 24:14).
The World's Best News
Do you have any idea why this good news--the gospel of the Kingdom of
God--is so wonderful? Why it is so needed in this world today?
You need to know! Otherwise it will be impossible for you to understand the primary
message of the Bible.
This gospel--the good news announcing the coming Kingdom of God--is the centerpiece
of Christ's work. It was the focus of His ministry (Mark 1:14-15). It is an
incredibly positive message filled with hope and purpose for humanity. It also explains
why confusion and heartaches permeate the world.
