This chapter discusses how Jesus embodied God's missionary purpose and sent the Holy Spirit to empower the church for mission. It argues that Jesus was God's "sent one", who called his followers to go wherever he goes and do whatever he does. As the kingdom bearer and great commissioner, Jesus mandated the church to make disciples of all nations. The book of Acts then describes how the early church partnered with God through the Spirit to spread the gospel message to both Jews and Gentiles.
