Mission Of Christ - Ep 336

Introduction -“If someone asked you, Why did Jesus come? How would you answer?”“And what does His mission have to do with your marriage, your parenting, your friendships?”Those aren’t just questions for each other here on today’s podcast. If you claim to follow this Jesus….It’s a question we ALL have to be ready to answer. 1 Peter 3:15 says “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”Jesus didn’t come just to save us from something—He came to invite us into something.Key Scripture   Luke 19:10 – “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”Background - What Was the Mission of Christ?Core Truth Jesus’ mission was redemption, reconciliation, and restoration—bringing people back to God and restoring God’s design for life and relationships.Break it down:A. To Reveal the FatherJohn 14:9 – “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”Jesus showed us: God’s love, his mercy and his truth all in one being. B. To Save the LostMatthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins.”Jesus didn’t come just to  forgive our sins,  but to transform our lives.C. To Fulfill God’s Promises and Establish the Kingdom of GodLuke 4: 18-19 but also found in Isaiah 61-The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me  to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.Discussion Prompt “How does your picture of God change when you look at Jesus?”Advice - 3.
