Mission is not a program that begins with human enthusiasm; rather, it is the heart of God that runs throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, and is a fundamental reason for the church’s existence.

The resurrected Jesus
will come again!

wept and stooped to look inside.
Two angels dressed in white asked her,

They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you

(Acts 1:10-11).

Jesus,
who ascended into heaven,
will
come back at the time appointed by God the Father's authority:
"Yes,
I am coming soon."
"Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus"
(Revelation
22:20).
