UNDERSTANDING THE MISSION OF JESUS:

Luke chapter 4 provides an overview of the MISSION OF JESUS
He announces one of his mission statements in verse 43 saying “I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God”.

Luke 4: 18-21 quoting from the book of prophet Isaiah, Jesus read in the synagogue:
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.”
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
As we join in fellowship and prayer on this IMC Annual Sabbath on 6 November 2021, as a church let us rediscover the “Mission of Jesus” and make pledge to carry out the great commission given to the disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.”
Remember, we are not alone in this great task, Jesus said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
May God bless you all!
