We are told of Jesus'
mission in the Old and New Testaments. He
was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did
not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not
receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children
born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but
born of God. - John
1:10-13 Some rejected Him. - the world and His own people. Some
received Him. - those who believed became children of God.
In Isaiah 40:3 we see
the prophesy of Jesus' mission and John the Baptist. A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness
prepare the way for the Lord; make
straight in the desert a highway for our God. (also quoted in Mark
1:3)
Do not be confused
about Jesus's mission. For God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him. - John 3:17
An impossible mission
for a mere man. but with God nothing is impossible. Amen?
