The Ministry Of Jesus

Acts 10:38

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him

Jesus didn’t spend His time dining with kings or going to parties with the elite of His day. You wouldn’t have found His name on the social registry of the rich and famous. Yet, His impact on the world was more than any king or rich and famous person. He went about doing good and meeting the needs of people each and every day of His ministry. His life was lived for the benefit of others who had needs.

As Jesus poured His life into others, He gathered disciples around Him and taught them to give their lives for others in the same way that He did. He gave them the power and the ability to do the same works that He did. He also demonstrated to them how to love others as much as they loved themselves.

The ministry that Jesus performed when He walked on this earth is still being accomplished today. The reason for this is that He told the disciples that He had made to teach others to do the things that He taught them to do. The new disciples were to teach others and so on and so on it would go, each new generation would pass on to the next one the teachings of Jesus and ministry of Jesus.

This has continued throughout time until the present day. Today, there are still those disciples of Jesus who are going about their day by day lives giving of themselves to others, pouring their lives into the lives of others. In this way, the life of Jesus is being perpetuated and His ministry is being continued.

Each and every believer has the same commission upon their lives. It is the responsibility of all of His followers to continue what He started when He was on this earth. You are one of His called disciples with His commission to do good to all that you meet, to pour your life into others as He did and to continue His ministry to all.

MY WORD CONFESSION: I have a calling on my life to be like Jesus, I am responsible to continue the ministry that He started.
