3. “But those things which God foretold by
the mouth of all His prophets, that the
Christ would suffer, He has thus
fulfilled.” (Acts 3:18)
Jesus’ plan of Atonement was prepared before the creation of Earth (1 Peter
1:20). God disclosed many details of His plan through prophets. For example:
His virginal birth
(Isaiah 7:14)
The date of His
baptism and His
death (Daniel 9:24-27)
His mission
(Isaiah 61:1)
His divinity
(Isaiah 9:6)
His mercy
(Isaiah 42:1-4)
His substitutionary
sacrifice
(Isaiah 53:4-5)
His resurrection
(Psalm 16:10)

4. “‘and I will shake all nations, and
they shall come to the Desire of All
Nations, and I will fill this temple
with glory,’ says the Lord of
hosts.” (Haggai 2:7)
Jesus came as “the Desire of
All Nations.” He proclaimed
the universality of His mission
since His birth.
 “A light to bring revelation to the
Gentiles.” (Luke 2:32)
 “And all flesh shall see the
salvation of God.” (Luke 3:6)
 “Behold! The Lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the world!”
(John 1:29)
No question, Jesus came
as the Savior for all
humanity. What does this
truth mean for us in the
context of mission?

5. “These twelve Jesus sent out and
commanded them, saying: ‘Do not go
into the way of the Gentiles, and do
not enter a city of the Samaritans.
But go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel.’” (Matthew 10:5-6) The people of Israel was called to
be a light for the nations (Isaiah
60:1-3). Therefore, Jesus sent
His disciples to preach to the
house of Israel first.
After that initial preaching, the
Gospel would be spread in wider
circles so the whole world would
eventually listen to it (Acts 1:8).

6. Despite the fact that
Jesus ministered mainly
among the Jews, there’s
no question that from

believes in Me should not
abide in darkness.” (John 12:46)

many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” (Acts 1:3)
