The Bible reveals the mission of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. His mission was to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, to reveal God’s love and grace to humanity, and to establish His kingdom on earth. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of Jesus’ mission in the Bible and how it impacts our lives today.
Jesus Christ came into the world with a mission: to reveal God’s love and to save sinners. His mission was foretold by the prophets and planned by God before the foundation of the world. His mission was accomplished through his life, death, and resurrection. Here are some Bible verses that highlight the significance of Jesus’ mission in the Bible.
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
This verse shows that Jesus’ mission was motivated by God’s love for humanity and his desire to give them eternal life through faith in his Son.
John 6:38: "For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me."
This verse shows that Jesus’ mission was obedience to God’s will and plan and that he came from heaven to fulfill his purpose on earth.
Philippians 2:5-8: "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."
This verse shows that Jesus’ mission involved humility, servanthood, incarnation, and sacrifice. He gave up his divine glory and privileges and took on human nature and limitations. He served others with compassion and grace and ultimately gave his life as a ransom for many.
John 17:4: "I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do."
This verse shows that Jesus’ mission was successful and complete. He finished the work that God gave him to do, which was to reveal God’s glory and grace through his words and deeds, and to pay for the sins of the world through his death on the cross. He also rose from the dead on the third day, defeating death and sin, and securing our salvation.
These are some of the Bible verses that show the significance of Jesus’ mission in the Bible. His mission was a demonstration of God’s love, mercy, and power. His mission was a fulfillment of God’s promises, purposes, and plans. His mission was an invitation for us to join him in his kingdom and family. His mission is still relevant today, as he calls us to follow him, trust him and share him with others.
How Jesus’ Mission Matters in the Bible
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to save us from sin and death. He is the Son of God and the Messiah that God had promised in the Old Testament. He came to fulfill the prophecies and to announce the Kingdom of God.
Jesus preached the gospel of grace and forgiveness. He taught us how to love God and our neighbors. He also did many miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, and calming storms.
He welcomed everyone who believed in Him, no matter their background, gender, or status. He cared for the poor, the rejected, and the oppressed. He also challenged the religious leaders who were hypocritical and corrupt.
Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. He said that the Kingdom of God is within us and is a spiritual kingdom that anyone can enter by faith. He also said that the Kingdom of God is a place of peace, joy, and justice.
Moreover, Jesus came to die on the cross for our sins. His death was a gift for us, and His resurrection was a proof of hope and new life. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven by God and to receive eternal life.
Of a truth, Jesus came to the world with a vital mission: He wanted to save humanity from sin and death, to fulfill what the prophets had foretold in the Old Testament, to proclaim the good news of repentance and forgiveness, to demonstrate God’s power and love through miracles, to care for the poor and the oppressed, to establish God’s reign on earth, and to sacrifice Himself on the cross for the sake of mankind. His mission was the central theme of the Bible, and it still matters today.
Bringing Hope and Love to the World Through Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ brought hope and love to the world by dying on the cross for our sins and rising from the dead. He demonstrated God’s love for us and gave us the assurance of eternal life. Through faith in him, we can have peace with God and hope for the future. The Bible alluded to this as illustrated below.
- Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
- 1 Peter 1:3: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
- John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
- Hebrews 6:19: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.”
These verses mean that God’s love for humanity was so great that he sacrificed his own son to save us from eternal damnation, and through our faith in Jesus, we have the hope of eternal life. This hope is like an anchor for our souls, providing stability and security in the midst of life’s storms, and it is made possible by Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf.
The mission of Jesus Christ ensured that people would live in a relationship with God. John 1:12–13, says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
You Can Find Salvation by Turning to Jesus
If you haven’t made peace with God, now is the time to give your life to Christ so that you may have the promise of eternal life. Please come to Jesus by surrendering your life to Him. You can say this prayer of salvation to begin a relationship with Jesus today. Remember, the mission of Jesus Christ is to save you and me from our sins. Therefore, I implore you to trust in Christ alone for your salvation.
The Word of the Lord says in Isaiah 1:19-20, “If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” May the Lord’s sword not devour the person reading this but instead may you find the courage to surrender your life to Jesus and experience the goodness of the land that He promises to those who are willing and obedient. Amen.
