Jesus Remains on His Incarnational Mission with Zacchaeus

Grace Fellowship Church

Closing Thought: Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man, did not become incarnate to be a good teacher (although He was). He did not come to model morality (even though He was perfectly moral). He did not come to provide a better life now (although His people receive immediate comfort and hope). He did not come to alter culture (although He did disrupt it). He did not come to show kindness and practice benevolence (even though He was perfectly benevolent and kind). And He did not come to establish an earthly kingdom (although He did provide entry into His eternal Kingdom to be fully manifest when He returns). Jesus' reason for coming (His mission) was to seek and save the lost. Full stop. And, beginning with the Apostles (including Paul), His followers' mission is the same, to seek and save the lost as His messengers of the Good News of the salvation that is available through faith in Him.
