The purpose of this article is to evaluate this expanded concept of mission from the perspective of Jesus’ teaching. The reason why Jesus’ teachings were selected as a criterion for evaluating the expanded concept of mission is that it is Jesus Christ who most accurately shows and teaches God’s will to us. In relation to this, Kim Kyun-jin said the following based on the Bart’s view, “Between God and man... there stands a personality called Jesus Christ. In him, God presents himself to man. In him, man recognizes God. In him, God stands before man, and man stands before God.” In other words, the way to know God’s will most accurately is on other than Jesus Christ and his words. In this regard, this article aims to evaluate the expanded concept of mission according to the criteria of Jesus’ teaching. For this work this paper will do the following works. 1) to examine the background in which the expanded concept of mission was born, 2) to investigate what the characteristics of the expanded concept of mission are, and 3) to know what the weak points of the expanded concept of missio are in terms of Jesus’ teachings. I hope that this study will help Christian mission keep a clearer concept of mission and carry out the duty in a more efficient way.
