Jesus' Mission On Earth - Dec. 3 2017 - a podcast by VOX Community Podcast

With Christmas around the corner, Mike explains to us the reason that Jesus came to earth and the role of the church today. In Genesis 3:8, when Adam and Even fell to Satan’s temptation, God’s first response was to look for the two. Since then, God has always pursued his people to dwell among them. In Exodus 25, he told Israel to build a sanctuary for him to dwell. Israel’s job was to live differently as a nation with which God dwelled.
In the New Testament, God sends Jesus as a perfect representation of himself to live amongst his people (John 1:4). In John 14, as Jesus told disciples of his imminent death, He comforts them that the Spirit will always live in them to continue His work. The Apostle Paul picks up this thread as he describes the church as a body of Christ, in which Christ dwells (Eph. 1:22-23, 1 Cor. 12:12 and 27). Today, the church should represent the presence of Jesus on earth. We should show the fullness of God in us. In the end, the church is not about what it does, but how it is transforming: more into Christ’s likeness.
