Luke 4:42-44 Jesus the messenger
1. As the day dawned, Jesus went to a secluded place.
Jesus took good care of his own spirituality by healing numerous sick people, serving the crowds, and communing with the Father, praying and meditating in a quiet place in the first hours of his day. The power of mass media is hidden in the demands of the crowd. The crowd's demands are automatically pushed back even if they don't want to, like items on a conveyor belt, until they reach the last point and finish packing before dropping. Knowing that it is easy to forget the mission of the errand sent by God, if you start to be pushed back by the demands of the crowd, you thoroughly exercised self-control. He prioritized his spiritual management to do the work he was sent to do, leaving behind the crowd's demands to make Jesus their king, doctor, and tutor.
2. I must preach the kingdom of God and the gospel to other towns as well.
He is an apostle and ambassador in heaven who was sent for the salvation of the whole world, rather than being sent to one region or Nazareth who hated Jesus or Capernaum who liked Jesus. The dream and vision of Jesus worked in recognition of his mission as a savior who was sent not only for the Galilee region, but also for the Roman Empire, the capital of the world, and for countless human beings to come. A Christian's view of work should be known and worked as the mission that God sent me. He is ill with materialism, careerism, and appearanceism. He thinks of people as money-making machines and is devoted to accumulating wealth like horse dung beetles. No matter how successful you are in the world, if you do not live as an errand for the kingdom of God, you will be rebuked as an evil and lazy servant with one talent.
3. He preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
In the Jewish synagogue, there were only religious people in appearance, and there were many Gentiles in real life. It is truly shameful and unfortunate that Jesus went to the synagogue to preach. In the synagogue, the spiritual blind who cannot see the kingdom of God, the spiritually deaf and dumb who cannot hear or preach the gospel of the kingdom, the spiritual lame and paralytic who cannot do God's errands, and the demons that disturb the kingdom of God and cause disturbance The captives, the spiritual lepers who spread uncleanness to others, the unregenerate Nicodemus who grow old without the assurance of salvation... The Pharisees, who are clever scribes in the Bible and the law, but who only judge and condemn others, are in the synagogues. There was. Jesus was sent to such a place and preached the gospel of the kingdom of God.
Conclusion/We too must live as messengers sent by God.
