Jesus Had a Mission


Listen Later

This week, we’re wrapping up our series about Jesus. But we’re talking about Jesus as you’ve never heard it before. Not all the wispy religious platitudes you may have heard. 

We’re talking about Jesus, the man. Specifically, we want you to see Jesus as the man most worthy of following.

Today we’re discussing how Jesus had a mission. This is the embodiment of his manliness. It takes everything in him as a man to live and fulfill his mission.

Jesus’s mission is the story of the kingdom of God. Mankind is enslaved to the enemy’s kingdom, and Jesus comes to set us free. But he only does so by sacrificing himself. He shows us what it means to live in God’s kingdom and rescue others as well. And he invites us to reign with him in that kingdom.

We see this mission lived out when Jesus heals a paralyzed man (Matthew 9). He shows he has the power not only to heal, but also to forgive sins. In Jesus’s kingdom, life is fully restored.

Nowhere is his mission more fully realized than in his resurrection (Luke 24). Just when his followers think all hope is lost, Jesus comes back. He defeats death, but he does so in a way that still leaves opportunity for us to be involved in his mission. It is now our turn to extend the life-giving hand of rescue to others.

Jesus was and is the greatest man who ever lived. You cannot find a more worthy man to follow. We urge you to make Jesus your King. Listen to the end of the podcast for a guide on how to do so.
