His mission is shown in Luke 4: He commissioned the Twelve in Matthew 10:1, 8) and the seventy (Luke 9:1-6 and 10:1- 12), then all his disciples to go in his own power and authority: As the Father has sent me, so I send you (John 20:20-21).

2. The meaning of service in the church Acts 6: 1 – 7 v. 2: to wait on tables (diakoneo). v. 4: ministry of the word (diakonia)
