The Christian Mission is the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew
28:16-20). Besides, baptizing the new believers, Christians are to teach
them to observe all things that Christ has commanded His disciples.
A
New Commandment of Love (John 13:34-35) was what
Jesus gave to His disciples on His Last Supper with His twelve disciples
on the eve of His Crucifixion. On this most solemn occasion Christ
demonstrated to His disciples how much He loved them through humbling
Himself washing and drying their dirty feet (John
13:1-17). Right afterwards, the Lord told them that He has set an
example for them to follow (John 13: 12-17). He commanded them to love
one another sacrificially even unto death, if necessary (John 15:12-17).
Therefore, loving one another sacrificially even
unto death is what Christians have to exemplify and to teach new disciples
to observe and obey. Our Christian mission is to make disciples, that is people who love one another sacrificially even unto death.
