“I must preach the kingdom of God…because for this purpose I have been sent.” (Luke 4:43)

“I must preach the kingdom of God…because for this purpose I have been sent.” (Luke 4:43)

Christ’s main purpose in coming to earth was to preach the Kingdom of God. Everything else was secondary. Miracles of healing, feeding people, and casting out demons were all well and good, but they were NOT the reason God sent His Son to us. Therefore, preaching the Kingdom of God was not one good thing to do among several, it was the main goal and purpose of His ministry in submission to His Father.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we also have a God given mission, a ministry, and a purpose. And if we do not follow through and fulfill that purpose, we fail at everything.
