Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Acts 1: 8 is a master plan for the mission of God which Christ gave as a mandate to the disciples. Through the help and power of the Holy Spirit that was poured out at the events of Pentecost, the entire master plan of the mission of God is fulfilled progressively. That’s what Luke wants to show through his second book, Acts. This truth is the foundation of the theological understanding that missions is carrying out the master plan of God. Acts 1: 8 is also a reminder that becoming a witness of Christ is a call to all believers without exception. On the basis of this truth, then there is no reason for believers not to do missions or witness for Christ. Moreover, this truth is a reminder that doing missions is not dependanton a great program, but on how effective these programs are in introducing Christ. Acts provides a basic truth that missions conducted by churches today is actually a continuation of the phase “ends of the earth.” Missions being carried out by the churches of today are part of a phase of introducing Christ to all peopleson the face of the earth until Christ comes again for the second time on the last day.
