Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
The Kingdom message was a must for Jesus to preach! This was the purpose behind His earthly ministry according to His own words. Jesus said emphatically that other cities must hear the Kingdom message and then He hung the whole purpose of His ministry on the kingdom message by stating: “for therefore am I sent”. Christ was sent for this purpose!
In the following verses you will see the church’s purpose as well:
Luke 9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Our teaching and preaching reveals if we are fulfilling our God given purpose. What are we hearing today? What did you hear last week? I am convinced the only threat to Satan are those who seek to live, teach and preach the Kingdom message!
