The Purpose Jesus Came Pt 1

1. To Preach the Kingdom of God

“I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.”

— Luke 4:43 (NKJV)

There are three kingdom at work in our world today.

1. The Kingdom of God- Ruled by God

2. The Kingdom of this world- Ruled by Humans

3. The kingdom of darkness- Ruled by Satan

Both the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of this world operate differently to the kingdom of God they have different values and different principles. I’ll probably elaborate more on the three kingdoms at work in a later post before this year ends.

But for now let’s look at why Jesus had to come and what was the purpose of His coming.

Jesus came with a clear purpose: to proclaim the Kingdom of God and demonstrate its reality through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In Luke 4, Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from the scroll of Isaiah, declaring that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him. He had been anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, give sight to the blind, set the oppressed free, and announce the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke 4:18–19).

Then Jesus made a remarkable declaration:

“Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” (Luke 4:21)

The prophetic promise was no longer merely something to anticipate. The Kingdom of God was being revealed in the person of Jesus!

Yet the religious leaders were filled with anger. Rather than welcoming the fulfilment of the promise written in the book of Isaiah, they thrust Jesus out of the city and attempted to throw Him over a cliff.

But opposition did not stop His mission. Jesus kept moving on.

Here is a lesson we can learn as followers of Jesus. When we are being opposed by whatever forces, whether human, circumstances or demonic we must keep going just like Jesus is. He was focus and determined to establish the kingdom of God through the power of love.

Jesus went to Capernaum, where He commanded an unclean spirit to leave a man. He healed Simon's mother-in-law of a high fever, and as the sun was setting, people brought their sick to Him. He laid His hands on them and healed them. Demons also came out of many, declaring that He was the Christ, the Son of God (Luke 4:31–41).

Where Jesus went, the Kingdom of God was demonstrated through the power of salvation which includes; healing (spiritual, physical, mental and emotional), deliverance, restoration, and freedom.

It was totally natural for the crowds to hold on to Him. When Jesus went to a deserted place the crowd searched for Him, and when they found Him, they tried to keep Him from leaving. From a human perspective, it would have made perfect sense to remain where the miracles were happening. Imagine the possibilities! A growing crowd, a reputation for healing, and a city experiencing freedom under the rule and reign of God’s Kingdom.

Most of us might have been tempted to settle down, build a sanctuary, and establish a permanent ministry centre.

But Jesus refused to let the crowd determine the direction of His mission.

He told them:

“I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” (Luke 4:43)

Notice something important here.

Jesus was not driven by desire of building his own empire, reputation or maintain His popularity, or keep people dependent on His presence in one particular place. He didn’t allow the immediate demands of the crowd to distract Him from the purpose for which the Father had sent Him.

Jesus was led by the Father's purpose, not my will be done but yours, not wanting to be controlled by the crowd's expectations. Remember what he said in the gospel of John.

“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”
—John 6:38

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
— John 4:34

He loved the people, ministered to their needs, and revealed the Father's desire to bring healing, restoration to humanity. Jesus chose to continue his journey because there were others who also needed to hear the good news of the Kingdom and to see what that kingdom looked like.

The kingdom looks like love being expressed through miracles, signs and wonders.

A Raw Morning Thought

As I watch what’s happening globally, I can’t help but reflect on what the Scriptures warn us about. Many will dismiss what Jesus and the apostles predicted, but no matter how much the world disregards their insight, our world today is experiencing an uprising of evil. I’m sorry to say that our world is not getting any better; it’s getting worse.

Many choose to remain in their own little comfortable religious or non-religious bubbles, living by the mantra, “I hear no evil and I see no evil.” I’m not a negative person, but I cannot deny what’s happening in our world.

The rise of terrorism and the pressure to be politically correct have reached another level globally. Intelligent people can no longer seem to agree on the difference between male and female. People are identifying as they/them, he/she, non-binary, and across the many spectrums of gender. Some are even identifying as animals or furries.

As Australians, we are in shock over what happened to a House of Representatives member by the name of Helen Haines, who was brutally and intentionally attacked by someone driving a Toyota Land Cruiser, who, by the way, allegedly drove into her twice.

Helen was loading her car with groceries when this individual rammed into her, causing serious injuries to her legs. News about her condition reveal that she has lost one leg and the surgeons are fighting to save the other leg. It is horrible to think that someone who loves her community and has dedicated her life to help people would end up one day being brutally targeted.

Our little island of Mauritius has experienced its own troubles recently: riots in the streets, looting, and a police officer discharging his weapon at an innocent mother who was returning home from work. There is also the rising cost of living, corruption, and an influx of drugs destroying many lives.

France is experiencing one of the worst periods in its history. It is burning as protesters riot, loot, and damage properties and businesses. France opened its borders to immigrants so they could have a better life, but instead, some ungrateful people have decided it is best to destroy the very country that opened its borders to shelter them, provide them with an education, and give them opportunities to work.

People who have worked hard to build businesses that serve their communities are being brutally attacked, and their properties are being burnt to the ground.

Jesus’ words are still resonating throughout our world today when He says to His disciples in:

John 16:33 “In this world you will have tribulations.”

The apostle Paul also prophesied about perilous times, and he said to young Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:1–7 He list 18 traits of behaviour and he says: “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men (anthrōpos, meaning human beings whether male or female) will be:

👉 lovers of themselves,
👉 lovers of money,
👉 boasters,
👉 proud,
👉 blasphemers,
👉 disobedient to parents,
👉 unthankful,
👉 unholy,
👉 unloving,
👉 unforgiving,
👉 slanderers,
👉 without self-control,
👉 brutal,
👉 despisers of good,
👉 traitors,
👉 headstrong,
👉 haughty,
👉 lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

The word perilous, which Paul used in verse 1, speaks of a time that would be hard to bear, troublesome, dangerous, harsh, fierce, and savage.

In one post about France, I described the rioters as “savages.” That is unlike me, but my heart was burning with righteous anger because I saw the pain and tears of a Chinese businesswoman who had been brutally attacked by these rioters, leaving her and her staff absolutely devastated.

It is painful to see what our world is going through at the moment.

The Labor government has announced free abortion in Australia, which will open the door for more unborn children to be aborted.

I could go on and on, but you get my drift.

We need to push back against the forces of darkness and demonic ideologies that have blinded the eyes of an unbelieving generation, causing people to behave in such ways. As a community, we need to speak up against the evil happening in our world. We need to expose the works of darkness.

I’m reminded of a quote attributed to Edmund Burke:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Our silence on these issues is deafening. We are scared to speak against unrighteousness, scared to lose face, and scared to raise our voices against it. Meanwhile, the forces of darkness continue to advance against our communities.

Jesus and the apostles weren’t afraid to speak against the forces of darkness. He was not scared to address empire and the evil of his days. On the contrary, they spoke boldly against its reign and pushed back against it through the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit, speaking the truth in love.

You might lose some friends along the way. They might not like what you say or what you post on social media.

When Jesus spoke the truth to those who followed Him, many of His followers left Him. Even His own disciples complained about His sayings in John 6:55–58. Jesus then turned to the twelve disciples and asked:

“Do you also want to leave Me?”

Peter’s response was remarkable when he said:

“But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’”
— John 6:68–69

Will we still follow Jesus even when He challenges the very core of our belief system?

Peter had received a revelation from the Father earlier about who Christ is, and no matter what others may think about our stance, if we have received a revelation of who Christ is, we can be reassured that Christ has the words of eternal life.

We can also be reassured that He is our Rock.

I would rather build my life on the Rock than on sinking sand.

Because Jesus is the Rock of my salvation!

Have you ever noticed how the Gospel writers captured different aspects of Jesus’ final moments on the cross?

👉 Four Perspectives👉 One Cross👉 Four Glimpses of Jesus Final Moments.

Matthew remembered:
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” — “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
—Matthew 27:46

Mark remembered:
“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” — which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
—Mark 15:34

Luke remembered:
“Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.”
—Luke 23:46

John remembered:
“It is finished!”
—John 19:30

4 Gospel accounts 4 Different perspectives.

In each perspective the disciples preserved a profound part of the story of Jesus’ final hours when He breathed His last and final breath on earth.

👉 Matthew and Mark record His cry from the cross.

👉 Luke captures His complete trust in the Father.

👉 John declares the triumphant completion of His mission.

One cross. One Saviour. One finished work.

And perhaps there is something beautiful for us to consider: each Gospel writer gives us a different window into the same extraordinary moment, helping us see the depth of what Christ accomplished through His death.

They were eye witnesses of His birth, His life, His suffering, His death and His Resurrection.

The cross was not the end of the story. It was the completion of His work, paving the way for the resurrection and the revelation of the Father's heart through His Son.

“It is finished!”

Not a cry of defeat, but the declaration that His mission had been accomplished.

The final words of Jesus reveal both the depth of His suffering and the triumph of His finished work.

Let’s not add to what Christ has already accomplished through His life, death and resurrection.

16/10/2026

🎧 Slowly and let this truth sink in.

The cross is not what God inflicts upon Christ in order to forgive. The cross is what God in Christ endures as He forgives.

Christ did not come to change God’s mind about you. He came to help you change the way you thought about God.

My theology crumbled when I came face to face with the reality that I had only a distant understanding of the Father’s love for me. An orphan mindset had distorted my perception of His heart and His nearness.

But in 2018, I had a revelation of the Father’s love that changed everything. I began to understand, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God is with me in sickness and in health, in the valleys as well as on the mountaintops, and that He would never abandon me.

I discovered a Father who draws near to the brokenhearted, who sits with the discouraged, the dismayed and the depressed. I saw this in the lives of Gideon and Elijah, men who experienced moments of fear, discouragement and deep vulnerability.

God didn’t turn His back on them in their weakness; He met them right where they were and walked with them through it. And suddenly, I realised something that changed my life: the same God who was present with them was present with me, too. I just didn’t realise it at the time.

Sometimes suffering doesn’t destroy good theology; it exposes the distorted picture of God we have carried. And when we begin to see the Father through the face of Jesus, we discover that even in our darkest moments, we have never been alone.

This is so on point that it will rattle all legalistic mindset, especially those who think that they have to work for their salvation as if their decision to follow Christ made them right with God. No, God placed you in Christ not by your own doing but His. Period!

Money Is Everything vs Money Answers Everything

PT 3

What do people mean when they say “money is everything”?

Usually, they're expressing one of several ideas.

Sometimes they mean:

“Money gives you options.”

And there's truth in that.

Sometimes they mean:

“Without money, many things become extremely difficult.”

Again, that's true.

But sometimes the statement reveals a deeper belief:

“If I had enough money, I would finally have everything I need to be happy, secure and fulfilled.”

That's where Ecclesiastes challenges us.

Because the writer had essentially experienced the experiment.

He had wealth, pleasure, possessions, achievement, wisdom and status — and repeatedly discovered that none of them could provide ultimate satisfaction.

That's why Ecclesiastes is such an interesting book.

It doesn't say:

“Money doesn't matter.”

It says, in effect:

“Money matters — but don't mistake what it can do for what it cannot do.”

The Beautiful New Covenant connection.

Jesus takes this even further when He says:

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
— Mark 8:36

Jesus isn't saying possessions are inherently evil.
He's exposing the tragedy of gaining everything externally while losing yourself internally.

And Jesus adds to this idea of how one can lose themselves when he said this in Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."

You can have the whole world at your feet and still be empty.

The word 'mammon' comes from the Aramaic word (māmōnā) which literally means:

* Wealth
* Riches
* Property

It carries the idea of "that which one trusts."

So I would summarise Ecclesiastes 10:19 like this:

“Money answers everything” doesn't mean money is everything. It means money has the ability to answer many of life's practical needs — but it was never designed to answer the deepest needs of the human heart.

Let's put it this way.

Money can answer many of life's questions, but it was never meant to answer the question of why you are alive.

The broader message of Ecclesiastes is this: don't confuse what is useful with what is ultimate.

There is a sobering lesson for us to learn here.

Solomon possessed extraordinary wisdom, yet wisdom alone did not prevent him from making destructive choices. He experienced God's blessing beyond any other king in Israel. He spoke three thousand proverbs, wrote one thousand and five songs, built the most expensive temple and witnessed God's presence, yet later allowed his heart to be drawn away.

His story reminds us that a person's remarkable beginnings do not guarantee a faithful finish.

At the end of his life, Solomon leaves us with a timeless lesson: above all the wisdom, wealth, and pleasures this world offers, what matters most is our relationship with God. As Ecclesiastes 12:13–14 concludes, fear God, keep His commandments, and remember that nothing is hidden from Him, for He sees and knows all things.
Peace

Money is Everything vs Money answers Everything

PT 2

The author of the book of Ecclesiastes proves that money isn't “everything.”

King Solomon is the author of this book. He introduces himself as a teacher, the Son of David, King of Israel. He became a teacher by experiencing life's challenges when it comes to handling wealth.

King Solomon has had to learn some things trough his own personal life.

King Solomon's wealth still surpasses the richest man in our modern world today. Elon Musk estimated net worth is currently standing at approximately $936 billion. Popular historical estimates place king Solomon's wealth at around $2 trillion in today's money.

The key word in this book he wrote is 'vanity' "the futile emptiness of trying to be happy apart from God."

King Solomon was the richest most influential King in Israel history. He came to the conclusion that riches, power, popularity, prestige, pleasure and all that it brings is nothing compared to being fulfilled in God. Nothing can fully satisfied the God-shaped void in man's life but God Himself!

I once heard of someone testifying about how his friend had everything he wanted in life but there was still something missing, something that is greater than riches itself. Our life is meaningless without God, only God can fill our life with joy and peace. And its not like the joy and peace of what this world can offer us.

The king declares"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

This is where I think this is very significant.

“Whoever loves silver will not be satisfied with silver.”
— Ecclesiastes 5:10

That's very different from saying, “Get more money and you'll finally be satisfied.”

And earlier:

“Wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it"”
— Ecclesiastes 7:12

Money has value. It provides protection and resources.

But wisdom is also valuable.

And Ecclesiastes ultimately takes us beyond both wealth and possessions:

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

What then is the whole duty of mankind?

Here is what King Solomon had to say about this question.

"Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all."
— Ecclesiastes 12:13

So the writer isn't worshipping money. He's recognising its practical power while simultaneously exposing its limitations.

LET’S TALK ABOUT MONEY

Money Is Everything vs Money Answers Everything

PT1

Let’s explore the ideas and beliefs many of us hold about money through a biblical lens.

I believe the writers of both the Old and New Testaments give us profound insight into money—not simply as currency, but into its purpose, its power, its influence, and the place it should have in our lives.

There is far more in Scripture about money than simply “money is good” or “money is bad.”

So, as I’ve been thinking about this subject, I want to take some time to unpack what the Bible actually says about money and allow Scripture to challenge some of the assumptions we may have carried.

Let’s explore this together.

In itself money is not evil but the love of it is the root of all evil. this is what I mean:

"The wrong relationship with money is evil."

Money in the wrong hands can cause a lot of damage to others but in good hands can cause a lot of blessings to others.

Paul actually says “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10), meaning it isn't money itself that is evil, but the misplaced desire for wealth that can lead people away from the faith and into greed, corruption, and destructive choices causing griefs.

“Money is everything” and “money answers everything” sound almost identical in English, but Ecclesiastes is not necessarily saying that money is the most important thing in life.

I have often misquoted this text myself by saying "Money is everything. But, that's not what the text actually says. This can easily be done if we do not read our bibles.

Ecclesiastes 10:19 says:

“A feast is made for laughter, and w**e makes merry; but money answers everything.”

1. Money answers everything.

The key is understanding what the writer means by “answers everything”

The Hebrew expression can carry the idea that money responds to, meets, or provides an answer to practical needs.

In other words:

Money can solve a lot of practical problems.

* If a person is hungry? Money buys food.
* If a person is thirsty? Money can buy a drink.
* If a person need shelter? Money provides housing.
* If a person need transport? Money provides it.
* If a person require medical attention? Money can give them access to medical care.
* If a person is in debt and need to pay that debt? Money answers that need.

So the writer is making an observation about the usefulness and influence of money in everyday life, not declaring that money is the answer to every human problem.

Remember that text in context makes sense, right!

There's actually a fascinating context immediately before Ecclesiastes 10:19 in verse 18 the author says:

“Because of laziness the building decays,
And through idleness of hands the house leaks.”

Then verse 19 states:

“A feast is made for laughter, And w**e makes merry; But money answers everything.”

The thought is very practical: life requires resources. Money has enormous practical utility.
