Jesus Came To…, 3

~ Jesus Christ Came To Preach The Kingdom Of God ~

Passage  ~  “Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place.  And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; but He said to them, ‘I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.’  And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee” (Luke 4:42-44).

Significance  ~  Jesus Christ came to save all people from all groups (ethnic, geographic, trades, careers, race, skin-color, etc.).

Comment  ~  We live in a day of great opportunity—but it will not last indefinitely.  “For He says: ‘In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.’  Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:1).  “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.  He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever” (Psalm 103:8-9).

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
