The Gospel according to Jesus #2

Jesus had a clear mission statement:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
(Luke 4:18, 19 ESV)

How much of this is the mission statement of the church today?
How much of this is the mission statement of my life?

Surely the first step in determining whether or not I am a true follower of my rabbi is by being obedient to HIS mission and not my own.

I suspect that much of my mission is inspired by personal motives and determined by human opinion…
