purpose...

Luke 4:18

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.

Jesus quotes a messianic prophesy from Isaiah to declare his purpose on earth. Not only is the Spirit and Jesus as one on this purpose but it’s the same purpose that His Father has (John 5:19).

The thing that people found so hard to believe back in Jesus’ day is still the same thing that we struggle with – that Jesus came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45).

He truly wants to have a meaningful relationship with us. He truly is everything we need. Are we looking everywhere else for a sense of freedom, release, healing and favour?

Or have you let Him into your world where He can start to do all these things in the best way?

Prayer for the week: Father, it is your love that forgave my sin, fulfills my destiny and brings freedom. Thank you for treasuring relationship with me that you would give it all for me. Your love is more than real and is how I want to love you and others.
