Have you ever noticed how the prayer Jesus taught us really encapsulates His entire mission?
Think about it.
He came as the perfect Son of the Father.
He kept holy the name of God by upholding His reputation.
He ushered in the kingdom of God.
He obeyed to the will of God – even to the point of death.
He provided for both the physical and spiritual needs of those who followed Him.
He offered forgiveness through His death on the cross and the means by which we could forgive others.
He resisted every temptation He encountered and so rescued us from the grip of sin.
If you want to understand what Jesus came to do, look to the prayer He gave us.
His entire mission is contained in this prayer.
So is the mission He gave us.
