Missio Dei | Week 1 | Acts 13:1-12 | “Missio Dei”

Missio Dei | Week 1 | Acts 13:1-12 | “Missio Dei” Missio Dei is Latin for “the sending of God.” In theological circles, this term emphasizes the Lord as the primary agent from whom all ministries and ministers trace their origin and from whom they receive their directive and abilities (cf. Ex. 4:10-12). While the church has gifted leaders, training others to fulfill the Great Commission (cf. Matt. 28:16-20), it is ultimately the Lord who raises up workers for the harvest (cf. Lu. 10:2) and equips them for his service (cf. Eph. 4:11-12). This is what Paul meant when, writing to the church in Corinth, he says, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone [emphasis added]. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Co 12:4–7). God is a missional God, actively working according to His own will and purpose. It is the church that joins in His mission, not the other way around. In today's passage, God raises up leaders for a great work. Barnabas and Saul are set apart for a specific purpose, and over the next few years, these men will travel thousands of miles to fulfill that purpose. From their efforts, the church takes root in the most unlikely of places, burgeoning into an international gospel movement. This success wasn’t owed to gifted ministers, though they were quite talented. All the glory goes to God who called, sent, and supplied them for the work of the ministry.
