  Have you ever thought about your mission? Do you even have one? I haven't read The Purpose Driven Life or The Purpose Driven Church, or any of the other Purpose Driven books, but I do believe that we need to live with a purpose. We need to have a mission; as a church and as an individual. Jesus lived with his mission always before him.
In Luke's Gospel account we find that Jesus stated his mission early in his journey. We find him in the synagogue reading from Isaish saying, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has annointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. " He rolls the scroll back up and then throughout the rest of Luke's Gospel account we can see Jesus living out that mission everyday.
He did give good news to the poor. He did release those who were prisoners because of Satan. He did give the blind back their sight (both physically and spriritually). He did lift up the oppressed. And, he most certainly did proclaim the year of the Lord's favor! Do you have a mission?
