The Ultimate Expression of Grace



                                     Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you
                                     shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His
                                     people from their sins”     (Matthew 1:18-21).



                               Jesus  came  into  the  world  to  fulfil  a  number  of  divine
                               objectives:

                               1.   To please the Heavenly Father.
                               2.   To live a life of obedience to the living God.

                               3.   To be the Pattern through whom the Father would
                                    show the world how to live in the world and please the
                                    heavenly Father.

                               4.   To redeem humanity from their sins.
                               5.   To  reconcile  humanity  into  relationship  with  the
                                    Father, and

                               6.   To restore man to the place of divine authority and
                                    dominion on earth.

                               A careful study of the life of Jesus shows that all He did on
                               earth were within these divine job descriptions. Jesus did
                               not just come to teach, heal, cast out demons, do miracles
                               and raise the dead. In the course of fulfilling His divine
                               destiny  these  supernatural  operations  came  into  play.
                               Miracles, signs and wonders are nothing if they do not align
                               with divine purpose. In other words, the supernatural is
                               not given to validate our ministries, but simply to glorify
                               God.
