Acts 1:6-11. When a person is sent out to do something they are trusted to accomplish the task. Whether it be parents sending their child to buy milk and bread at the grocery store, or soldiers sent to rescue someone from harm, they were sent for a reason. Jesus has sent every New Testament Christian out on a mission. He has sent us out to accomplish the most important mission of all humankind – to continue the mission he gave his twelve apostles; to be his witnesses by telling others about him.
