The phrase “ends of the earth” underlines the comprehensiveness of the mission and alludes to Isaiah 49:6, which describes the Servant of the Lord: “I will also make you a light for the nations, to be my salvation to the ends of the earth.” These words anticipate not only the work of Christ (Lk 2:32) but also the future witness of His disciples (Ac 13:47).
God’s mission to include in His kingdom people from every nation, tribe, and language will be wonderfully fulfilled (Rv 5:9-10; 7:9). Thus the church today as God’s missionary people can confidently bear witness to Christ and advance His kingdom, near and far, crossing every cultural barrier. We cannot rest until the gospel has been preached in word and deed, and the church is planted among every people, in every locality and from every religious background.
