Mission, do you have any missions that you have to do now???
work, family or life missions you need to complete...
we have a lot of missions in different time and area
and what is our mission in our life..??
"Jesus' Mission" - what is Jesus' mission
Words: Luke 19:1-10
In the next two
weeks we will bring our series on the Life of Christ to a close.
As I looked back on the different subjects we touched on regarding Jesus' life
I was greatly impressed with how little we covered. Not that we haven't learned
a lot, but in comparison to all the questions I still have it seems like we
just began. Ah yes, and that's the point.
We can never learn all there is to know about Jesus. I've been married to the
same woman for 33 years and still learn new things about her. Surely, we will
be learning more about Jesus throughout eternity. Indeed, as I was reflecting
on Jesus' purpose for coming to earth many more questions came to mind. Why
didn't Jesus correct the social and political ills of the Jews and Romans?
Slavery was everywhere. It was heartily embraced as a way of life. Yet, there
was no moral outcry against a person owning another human as common property
like he would a piece of furniture.
Why didn't Jesus abolish slavery or at least say something against it? Why
didn't he fight poverty and injustice? Why didn't he campaign against the
intolerance of the religionists and their blatant racism? Though corruption was
rampant (even expected from tax collectors) why doesn't Jesus preach a sermon
against it? Instead, we see him going to dinner and visiting with Zaccheus at
his home! I believe the answer is found in understanding Jesus' mission on
earth. Why did Jesus come here in the first place? Jesus believed that completing
his God-given mission would solve all other problems.
Do you believe fulfilling our Lord's commission will do the same? Are we about
our Master's work? Have we gotten side-tracked on other issues that keep us
from the main thing?
