The Reason for Missions
1 Corinthians 14:36-38
What? came the word of God out from you? or came it to you only?…


The text reminds us —

I. OF OUR OBLIGATIONS.

1. Missionaries came first to us.

2. Consider their impressions, obligations, motives, means, sufferings.

II. OF OUR DUTY.

1. To send the gospel to others, who have equal need, equal claims.

2. We have the ability to do it.

3. Are under equal obligation.

4. Possess the same motives.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
