| "Which of these purposes do you believe Jesus accomplished?" |
Jesus fulfilled all the accomplishment. God demonstrated His love for us by sending His only son Jesus Christ into the world to die for us sinners and to save the world from sin that all who believe in Him should not perish. Jesus proclaim the Good News that He will save us, whoever call upon His name shall be saved, if you repent, confess and ask for forgiveness you can overcome any hurdles in your way. He never promise us a life without pain or troubles, He never promise it would be easy, but He promised as a born-again believer there is a life of joy and peace in the end. He said weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Jesus was sacrificed for us. He gave His life as a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28) What have we sacrificed or can we sacrifice for Him? It is hard for us to give up things that we cherish but a life in Christ is worth more than worldly things. Jesus blood was shed for us, His body broken for us. Matthew Chp. 26:26-28 says, while they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, "take and eat; this is my body. Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (NIV) This is done during the Lord's Supper where we use bread or wafer as a symbol of His body and wine as a symbol of His blood that was shed for us. Jesus is the source of abundant life because He came to earth to heal the sick, the broken-hearted and to preach the gospel to all and to give new life to those who accept Him as their own personal Savior. He went about doing good even though He was rejected in His hometown. Jesus preached the Gospel of repentance so we would understand the Kingdom of God. There is a kingdom in each of us if we trust God, witness to others about Him, encourage others to seek Him, to love Him and to serve Him. The free gift of forgiveness and eternal life is promised to all who accept the invitation to come to Christ and to partake of the cleansing water of life. Jesus accomplished all His purposes because He loved us and the last thing He said on the cross was "It is finished." We are called to be obedient servants of God. Now is the accepted time, we must be prepared to meet Jesus when He appears on earth once more. We must repent or we will perish. By: Diana Yarde Category: Statements of Purpose |

| "Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?) |
In worship to God, Jesus was always in touch with his Father who had sent Him for a specific purpose. Jesus knew what his mission on earth was and how it would be accomplished. He said he did only what he had been sent to do, which was not his but the will of Him who had sent him. He also fulfilled all the prophesy about him. He only walked in the path prepared for him, requiring courage, commitment, determination, perserverance. Like Jesus, our Lord and Savior, each and everyone of us has been put in this world for a specific purpose. Fulfilment of such a purpose can not be found without God in the name of Jesus. We need Jesus to show us the way to the Father and do His will. He is the way, the true, and the life. By: Motlatsi John Lesupi Category: Timeline - Final 1 Week |
