在安提約基,我們見證了一種新的宣教方式的開端。在安提約基教會建立之前,福音是透過人們之間的自發性交流傳播的。
在安提約基,教會團體派遣一些宣教士踏上旅程,並提供他們必要的支持。
他們由教會團體派遣,返回後報告情況。
這種宣教方式一直沿用至今。
然而,重要的是,我們要將宣揚福音視為我們每個人的使命和榮耀。
有人被派遣並不意味著我們可以留在家裡。
「我們出發,請不要留。」你們也需要以自己的方式分享福音。
At Antioch, we see the beginning of a new missionary method. Till the foundation of the church of Antioch, the Gospel spread by spontaneous exchanges among people. At Antioch, the community sends some missionaries on a journey for which they provide assistance. The community sends them, they will return and make a report. This way of doing mission is at work to these days. It is important, however, that we consider announcing the good news as the task and the glory of each one of us. Thet some are sent does not mean that we can remain. “We leave, please do not stay at your home.” You too need to announce the gospel, in your way.
