Jesus' Mission Statement

Today’s Focus: Jesus’ Mission Statement
Scripture: Matthew 4:17

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
We have discussed this scripture in detail a number of times. Here Jesus states His mission and assignment on Earth. Can I say that His assignment is our assignment also! We will discuss this and reinforce this statement throughout the Gospels. Jesus mission was 2-parts:

1. Repent – to get you to change your mind
2. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand – Re-introduce to Kingdom of Heaven back on Earth.

Jesus came to change our mindset from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. He came to re-introduce a government that the people could live in and everything that they need would be supplied if they obeyed the laws and commandments of the King. Jesus came to Earth to set the standard of living and show us how to live in this Kingdom. This ministry has said it a hundred times and we will not change it. Jesus did not bring a religion to Earth.

Finally, when you read the scripture it says that “from that time Jesus began to preach, and to say…” This is important because Jesus is declaring what His message was that he was bringing to Earth. Jesus preached the Kingdom of Heaven all-day everyday. So Jesus was a boring preacher according to our standards. We need some emotional hollering and screaming, jumping around. But, Jesus was a calm but stern teacher. He told the good, the bad and the ugly. The question you should be asking yourself. When you go to worship service, what are you searching for? If it is not the Kingdom of God, you need to re-evaluate yourself and your motives.
