For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost -Luke 19:10.
He started His ministry preaching or proclaiming that the kingdom of heaven is here. Everywhere He went He preached and taught the word to the people demonstrating such love and compassion that had never been seen before. He turned water into wine at a wedding reception when the groom ran out of wine. He fed five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish. He healed everywhere He went. The blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the crippled got up and walked, lepers were cleansed, the dead arose and many other miracles were done by Him.
He did all this to show the world that the Son of Man was here (tabernacled) with men. Then He promised that the works everyone sees Him doing His followers will do also. Even greater works would be done by them (John 14:12). He told us just before leaving after His resurrection that these signs shall follow His disciples (those who believe) who are you and I, In His name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover (Mark 16:17-18).
Prayer: Lord help us to carry out your mission successfully. Amen.
Encouragement: He came to seek and to save that which was lost. His mission has not changed and we are to do the works that He did and even greater according to His word.
