Look at any other aspect of Christ\u2019s work, whether it is healing, saving, or sanctifying, and you will see that there is nothing limitless about those. But\u2014 \u201cThe Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!\u201d\u2014 that is limitless (John 1:29). The missionary\u2019s message is the limitless importance of Jesus Christ as the propitiation for our sins, and a missionary is someone who is immersed in the truth of that revelation.<br>The real key to the missionary\u2019s message is the \u201cremissionary\u201d aspect of Christ\u2019s life, not His kindness, His goodness, or even His revealing of the fatherhood of God to us. \u201c\u2026repentance and remission of sins should be preached\u2026to all nations\u2026\u201d (Luke 24:47). The greatest message of limitless importance is that \u201cHe Himself is the propitiation for our sins\u2026.\u201d The missionary\u2019s message is not nationalistic, favoring nations or individuals; it is \u201cfor the whole world.\u201d When the Holy Spirit comes into me, He does not consider my partialities or preferences; He simply brings me into oneness with the Lord Jesus.<br>A missionary is someone who is bound by marriage to the stated mission and purpose of his Lord and Master. He is not to proclaim his own point of view, but is only to proclaim \u201cthe Lamb of God.\u201d It is easier to belong to a faction that simply tells what Jesus Christ has done for me, and easier to become a devotee of divine healing, or of a special type of sanctification, or of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But Paul did not say, \u201cWoe is me if I do not preach what Christ has done for me,\u201d but, \u201c\u2026woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!\u201d (1 Corinthians 9:16). And this is the gospel\u2014 \u201cthe Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. \u20141 John 2:2 The key to the missionary\u2019s message is the propitiation of Christ Jesus\u2014 His sacrifice for us that completely satisfied the wrath of God.
