Jesus came to earth with a mission, and it was the greatest mission of all mankind.\xa0But then, He commissioned us for a mission, and we find that mission in John 14:12.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater\xa0works\xa0than these he will do, because I go to My Father."\xa0

Jesus is saying that the work of the church is exactly the same as the work He came to do!

The purpose and mission of the church is to do what Jesus did when He lived on earth

If you believe in Jesus, John 14:12 is talking about you. You're supposed to do the works that Jesus did. What does this mean about you personally?

No matter what career you're in, it's not about that, its about what Jesus Christ says you are and what you do for His kingdom.

The\xa0Spirit of the LORD\xa0is\xa0upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to\xa0the\xa0poor;
He has sent Me\xa0to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to\xa0the\xa0captives
And recovery of sight to\xa0the\xa0blind,
To\xa0set at liberty those who are\xa0oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.\u201d

Luke 4:18-19

1. What does the word anointed mean?\xa0

Anointed - in classical Greek: to pour oil on something, to rub with oil; to appoint to an office.

"...and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed\xa0us from our sins in His own blood,\xa0and has made us kings\xa0and priests to His God and Father, to Him\xa0be\xa0glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."\xa0Revelation 1:5-6

• God has appointed us to be kings and priests. We are appointed to this work.
• We need to come into agreement with God and what He says about us and who He says we are. And He says that He has placed us in office as a king and priest in His kingdom.
• Rise up and be who He has appointed you to be!

\u201cAnd I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed\xa0in heaven.\u201d Matthew 16:18-19

• God has given us the authority of that appointment
• He has given us the keys of the kingdom, which equal authority.

"But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ\xa0is\xa0in you, the body\xa0is\xa0dead because of sin, but the Spirit\xa0is\xa0life because of righteousness
