Jesus was fully devoted to the work God gave him to do. The Bible says that God found full delight in Jesus and every footstep was in accord with his Father. The Gospel is preached to announce God’s wonderful invitation to mankind. There is forgiveness and peace available in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our sins have separated us from God’s holy presence but He sent his son into the world to save sinners.

Hebrews 12:1-3 “Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,2 looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.3 For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds.”
