The Mission and Purpose of the Messiah - a podcast by Craig Scott

The 3.5 year period  Jesus spent preaching and teaching was filled with amazing activity. He healed the sick, raised the dead, quieted the storm, cast out demons,andproclaimed the coming kingdom of God...Yet, out of the tens of thousands He reached, He was misunderstood and rejected by almost everyone. Only 120 people were there when the Church of God began with the receipt of the holy spirit.

Some of that misunderstanding was cleared up by the NT writings of the apostles… some remains with us today… and some new ones have developed along the way: The wise sage… the fighter for social justice… the welcoming and accepting friend.

Our purpose today is to review the biblical statements aboutJesus mission and purpose as Messiah.
