And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:26
Tuhan punya tujuan yang mulia buat setiap dari kita.
Jesus' purpose was twofold:
1. To proclaim the arrival of God's Kingdom
From church-mentality to kingdom-mentality.
2. Providing the entry to the kingdom through His blood
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:17
Chapter 3
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye:for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Matthew 3:1-3
Metanoia: change the way of thinking
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:18-19
Urapan diberi dengan tujuan. Preach good news to the poor.
What Jesus did was actually bringing us back to the Kingdom of God!
