What Is Our Purpose?
Over 2000 years ago, a small group of ordinary men turned the world upside down in an extraordinary way.
A movement that started with eleven men grew to over 3000 people in a day.
The number continued to grow year after year.
But, the question we may ask is “How did that happen?”
Over 2000 years ago, a small group of ordinary men turned the world upside down in an extraordinary way.
A movement that started with eleven men grew to over 3000 people in a day.
The number continued to grow year after year.
But, the question we may ask is “How did that happen?”
The answer is that they
“Knew their Mission”
they went, I think they got out of the “cheap seats” and wanted to get on the front line and “make a Difference”.
They WENT!
They heard the clear call from Jesus and they responded!
They went and the world was changed.
Sometimes it seems that our life is like a bucket of marbles—just one in the midst of many, not real sure of what we are doing or how we will accomplish our utmost mission.
Do yo know what your mission is in this world?
In order for us to understand our mission, I think we need to do some ground work:
God’s Mission
If we are to understand God’s mission, we must read His Word.
By the way, His word is not just a lot of facts put in one book—rather, it is an incredible story about God.
a)Creation
—He called it very good vs31.
In the midst of His creation is a man and woman, very different, because they were created in His image and likeness (vs26-28).
They were entrusted with managing the world God created, making families, working to enhance the garden (2:!5).

They were entrusted with managing the world God created, making families, working to enhance the garden (2:!5).
They are spiritual, moral, social and cultural beings who were to use the totality of their being to please God.
b)The Fall
—they decided to turn against their creator.
Instead of loving and obeying God supremely, they disobeyed Him and believed the lie of Satan.

Being cast from the garden represented the fact that things were no longer how they were supposed to be.
Adam and Eve no longer had a right relationship with God.
c) Redemption
This is the first peek at the Gospel.
Throughout scripture, we see more and more about the Redeemer—Jesus Christ.
He lived a perfect life, died on a cross, rose from the grave, rising as a victor, having fully paid for our sins.

d) Restoration
This will take place when Christ returns.
When He returns, He will invite us to live with Him—.
Israel’s Mission
Between the garden of Eden and Golgatha, the story focuses on Israel’s attempt to redeem itself from all the consequences of sin.
When we read the OT, we read about kings, queens, deserts, wars, horses, donkeys, big fish, etc.
But, what was Israel’s mission?
—God came down to a pagan named Abraham and promised him that he would bless his descendants so that his descendants could pass on the blessings to other nations.
His descendants, Israel, were to be a conduit of blessings.
Later, God promised Moses and Israel that he had chosen them to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation who would display his glory ().

Later, God promised Moses and Israel that he had chosen them to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation who would display his glory ().
God’s primary promise was that the Savior would come from within Israel.
He would be an eternal king (2 King 7:12-16), a suffering servant ().
God blessed Israel
by giving them a set of laws, instructing them how to live.
The law showed Israel how their love for God could shine through personal, social, culture and political lives.
Every aspect of Israel’s life mattered to God-
God intended Israel to:
-direct their worship upward to Him, trusting Him to direct them as a nation.
-look inward at their life as a nation, making sure they loved each other, reflecting God’s love
-look backward to remember God’s plan for them—to live in harmony with God
-look forward to the time when He would send Jesus, to save them from their sins
-look outward on the nations, making their own personal and national lifestyle so attractive that the nations would want to worship their God.
Israel’s mission was supposed to line up with God’s mission!
God’s mission is to redeem a people to Himself and to restore His creation which has been marred by sin.
God wanted Israel to live its life in such a way that people would want to be saved by their God.
Jesus’ Mission
His mission picks up where Israel’s left off.
God fulfilled his promise to Israel by sending Jesus to be the Savior.
Yes, Jesus was perfect in every way-the divine Savior.
He taught perfectly!
He lived perfectly!
He ministered perfectly!
He ministered through words and deeds.
He taught perfectly!
He lived perfectly!
He ministered perfectly!
He ministered through words and deeds.
While on His mission, this is how he lived:
While on His mission, this is how he lived:
Miracles
why miracles?
they revealed the nature of His salvation, the type of kingdom He was announcing.
In His miracles, He showed His power over nature, demons, sickness and death.
When He calmed the sea, He revealed He is God who created the seas, but also controls the sea.
When He healed the leper—He proved that he was the Great Physician.
Hospitality
Teaching
-
He fellowshipped with the Father and relied on the Holy Spirit to accompany Him in ministry.
Jesus taught the truth about His Father, explained the nature of His kingdom, explained salvation.
Death and Resurrection
His mission was unique!
The primary thrust focused on the atonement He achieved through His crucifixion and resurrection.
With His words He announced that He was the Savior.
With His deeds, He gave a preview of what type of salvation He provided—one that would one day culminate in a new heaven and earth, one in which there would be no more sin and no consequences of sin.
