8 His Mission (cont'd)
Mission to do the Father's
will
[To the Jews:] .... the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear
witness of me.
j1025
.... the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works
that I do, bear witness of me, ....
j0536
The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for
what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.
j0519
I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou
hast given me to do.
j1704
We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can work. When I am in the world, I am the light of the
world. j0904-5
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. j0434
I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[The Canaanitish Woman: Lord help me.]
It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
[Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table.]
O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt m1524-8/k0727-30
Christ - Teacher
[Quoting from Isaiah about himself:]
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
l0418-9
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him
that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgement, but hath
passed out of death into life.
j0524
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that
sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto
the world.
j0826
All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who
the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.
l1022/m1127
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
l0646/m0721
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children
sitting in the marketplaces, which call unto their fellows, and say, We
piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn. For
John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The
Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man,
and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified
by her works.
m1116-9/l0731-5
[Simon and disciples: All are seeking thee.]
Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for
to this end came I forth. k0137-8/l0443
Go your way and tell John the things which ye do hear and see: the blind
receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the
deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings
preached to them.
m1104-5/l0722-3
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see
death.
j0851
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept
my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken
unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be fulfilled.
