Why He Was Sent

S - "The next morning Jesus went out to a place where he could be alone, and crowds came looking for him. When they found him, they tried to stop him from leaving. But Jesus said, “People in other towns must hear the good news about God’s kingdom. This is why I was sent.” So he kept on speaking in the synagogues in Judea.” Luke 4 TS

O - Jesus was sent to clarify the person and purposes of God. He only did what the Father was doing (John 5). He only said what the Father was saying (John 12). In fact, he said "…  "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me." (John 12) He is the EXACT representation of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). This is why he was sent.

A - Heaven wants the world God loves to be crystal clear on his person and purposes. Jesus is that clarity. If my picture of the Father is not identical to Jesus heaven wants me to change the picture. The Scripture experts and religious elites of Jesus’ day were those who opposed and resisted Jesus and refused to make the change. I do not want to be among them. He is the message sent to the 7.7 billion God loves. 

P - Father of Jesus,

Thank you making it crystal clear to us concerning your person and purposes. Am gratefully delighted to believe Jesus about you; about heaven and about earth. Thank you for your relentless love and defiant mercy. I really do love you back.
