The
Purpose of Christis Life
The
Lord Jesus Christ was a man of wonder and His character was truely
spotless. He had a heart of kindness and He
cared about all
people regardless of what and who they were of, what label society gave
them. He sought to reach out to all He encountered on the road of His
ministry. He was not a man who would turn any man away no matter how
sinful they may have been. Though the religious rulers would do so even
the rich.. But Jesus was greatly distinet from then all for He came to
earth to befriend and to save. For He Himself said, For I did not come
to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance. Matthew 9:13.
The
Lord sought to show the Father to mankind in general that we'd be able
to know the Father personally. He walked upon this sinful earth to shine
the light of the Father. For the word says of Him, "that light has
come into the world" .... and again, And the light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 3:19a, 1:5.
Yet
inspite of all that we read about our Lord and Saviour as was then so it
is now. So many people come to the Saviour for the wrong things. In many
plans in scripture after Jesus performed a miracle for those who came to
Him He gave command not to tell anyone. Mark 8:26, 7:36, 5:43, Matthew
8:4, 12:15-16. As in the miracle of the young lady of twelve years of
age. The command to keep the miracle a secret was a temporary measure,
for certainly the girl's reappearance could not be hidden very long (For
all knew she was dead. Mark 5:35) Such orders would, however, allow
Jesus to exit quoetly. Simdy because Jesus didn't want to be known
primarily as a miracle worker lest people seek Him for wrong reasons.
Though the word says He would give recovery of sight to the blind. Luke
4:18. That was not His primary purporse, His purpose was to save that
which is lost. Mathhew 18:11.
Does
that mean that He didn't want anyone to know the good things that God
can do? No, for He tells the man whom He healed in the country of the
Gadarenes who was possessed with a legion of demons. "Go home to
your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you,
and how He has had compassion on you
mark 5:1-20. He only wanted people to come for the life. He provided
rather than getting a miracle from God. Because the greatest miracle one
can have done to them is being pulled back from eternal flames of the
righteous wrath of God in judgment on sin which Christ Jesus the Lamb of
God came to save all men from. That through him all who receive God’s
gift of salvation would escape. He wanted people to recognize him as the
“Bread of Life” that comes down from heaven and gives life to the
world. John 6:26-27, 33-35.
He
was by no means against working the mighty power of God seen through the
miracles he performed. Because the world of God says, “And the
pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand”. Isaia 53:10. But
rather he came into the world and living sacrifice from God the Father
that he would take upon himself the sin of the world. In this we find
the purpose of Christ’s life. Which should inspire us to come to Him
for the life he gives in so that we would be healed inwardly. Isaia
53:5.
Let
us all in the world rest assured that God has the power to heal all our
infirmities, all our sicknesses, all our pains and heartaches. But He
would much rather save our souls. For what is outward healing of one’s
soul is in separation from God under the hand of His mighty judgement?
Let us seek God for what first is greatly important to our soul before
anything else.

You mark 5:1-20. He only wanted people to come for the life. He
provided rather than getting a miracle from God. Because the greatest
miracle one can have done to them is being pulled back from eternal
flames of the righteous wrath of God in judgment on sin which Christ
Jesus the Lamb of God came to save all men from. That through him all
who receive God’s gift of salvation would escape. He wanted people to
recognize him as the “Bread of Life” that comes down from heaven and
gives life to the world. John 6:26-27, 33-35. He was by no means against
working the mighty power of God seen through the miracles he performed.
Because the world of God says, “And the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in His hand”. Isaia 53:10. But rather he came into the world
and living sacrifice from God the Father that he would take upon himself
the sin of the world. In this we find the purpose of Christ’s life.
Which should inspire us to come to Him for the life he gives in so that
we would be healed inwardly. Isaia 53:5. Let us all in the world rest
assured that God has the power to heal all our infirmities, all our
sicknesses, all our pains and heartaches. But Saviour was then so it is
now. So many people come to the saviour for the wrong things. In many
plans in scripture after Jesus performed a miracle for those who came to
him. He gave command not to tell anyone. Mark 8:26, 7:36, 5:43, Mathew

however allow Jesus exit quietly. Simply because Jesus didn’t want to
be known primarily as a miracle worker lets people seek him for the
