The task with which Jesus left His earliest followers was to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, and the past two thousand years have told the story of the many and various ways that task has been fulfilled or neglected.
In our own day, the task remains overwhelming. Billions of people live beyond the reach of Jesus-following, Kingdom-minded people in their own culture and language. The Live Dead value of apostolic function says, let’s look at the apostles—how they thought about their role in the task and what they did—and learn from them for today. How they functioned can be paradigmatic for us today.
The “lens” of apostolic vision and apostolic drive focuses our attention on the work to be done among the unreached. It keeps our eyes on the task of sharing the gospel and planting churches in places where the presence of the church and witness to the gospel is lacking.
This brief study of the Book of Acts from a Live Dead practitioner Daryl Jump looks at apostolic function chapter by chapter, story by story, in Luke’s retelling of the growth of the early church and its spread toward Rome. Heavenly Vision is a resource for any follower of Jesus who wants to learn and apply the work of apostles and the early church to the work of church planting today.
