Sermon Excerpt | Missions Exists Because . . . (2 mins)

Missions exists because Jesus will save every single sheep for whom He died.

"I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd." (John 10:14-16)

The Good Shepherd | John 10:1-21

The idea of a shepherd who would come and gather God's people was predicted centuries before Christ in the Old Testament and Jesus spoke of that fulfillment as taking place in Himself in John 10.
