Only by having the zeal to spread this light to others do we truly believe that this is the light. The mission of the church and of everyone who believes in Christ is to spread this light. If a Christian forgets that, he will cease to be Christian. The church without missions is a church without mission. The more the church has missions, the more alive it will be.
Missions are the lungs of the church.
Look at the world around you-corruption, despair, evil, anger, and hatred reign everywhere. For this reason, now more than ever, the world needs genuine missionaries of love, people of integrity, and true examples of the Christian life. It is a tragedy that our faith is no longer seen as good news but only as a religion, as Alexander Schmenmann used to say. Thus, we have lost the wonder of the good news and the joy in our hearts that comes from this good news, which is the source of that burning desire to share with others. Furthermore, at times, the place of the good news has been taken by bad news, and more time is spent talking about anti-Christ than about Christ.
