John 5

I want to continue with "The Man on a MISSION"

John 5 v 1-15 we see Jesus again being persecuted/criticized by the Jews for healing the cripple that had laid by the "Sheep Gate" for 38 years. This was a heavy traffic area of the City and Jesus wanted to be seen healing the sick on the Sabbath…he was on a mission.

V16-23 Jesus tells the Jews that the Son can do nothing of Himself but what he sees the Father do. Because he is making himself equal with God they seek even more to kill him… he is on a mission.

V24-30 Jesus is judging on the Sabbath, telling the Jews that he who hears My word and believes in Him who hath sent me will have everlasting life… he is on a mission.

V31-47 Jesus tells them that they search the scriptures to receive eternal life, but will not come to Him, the giver of eternal life because they do not have His Word abiding in their hearts… he is on a mission.

Jesus was on a mission to let the Jews know that he was the Messiah, but they continued to reject him and sought to put him away. This was all a part of his plan. 

As REAL Men, we are adopted Jews, and we KNOW who Jesus is and have His Word abiding in our hearts. When he went away he said "Greater things than these shall ye do because I go unto my Father." We are on the Mission of our Heavenly Father today to fulfill his will in the Earth. Let's continue to be REAL men and be a reflection of Him so we can continue that mission.  

We are on a mission.  Our goal is Heaven.  Our trophy is a crown.  Time is of the essence and now is the not time to abort mission and change our orders.
