David Bryant distinguishes two kinds of Christians. First, worldly Christian, which is those already on the save, but not interested in bringing salvation to the world, instead they see the world as a means for profit and personal gain. Second, the world Christian, that is, those who were saved, and directs his life in the world for the mission, carrying the message of salvation to all nations.

In the teaching of the Lord Jesus, we see that safety and mission are two inseparable things. Notice we are reading today. After confirming the disciples about his resurrection, Jesus taught the truths important for their future ministry. He summarizes that the entire contents of the Torah, the Prophets, and the book of psalms point to the fulfillment of salvation in Himself (verse 46). But not only that, the outline of the Bible is also about how this should be conveyed the message of salvation to all nations (verse 47).

Worldly Christians who are satisfied with the blessings of salvation for themselves, and the Christian world who long for salvation is also up to all nations. Of these two groups, where you belong? Lifestyles and what kind of priorities we have to change if we want to grow as Christians world-people who yearn to return to all nations rejoice in the Lord? - JOO
