Christology Reflection (6)

Jesus accomplished His mission which was to fulfill the His promises in the Old Testament hope; the mission being to proclaim the divine reign and to die on the cross. In In order to accomplish the mission he walked according to His Father’s will even though it meant giving up His life. Why did he obey God? Why did He want to complete the mission?
He went through the walk out of love for His Father and mankind. He came to live a communal life, forgive mankind and he died for mankind. We, as followers of Christ, ought to imitate Him and live a Christ like life. Like Christ God has also appointed tasks for us to accomplish. Therefore we must understand what our role in God’s mission is. It is important for us to obey God so that we can walk according to His will and complete our tasks. We should walk and obey God not as a bargain but because we love God.

“Lord, help us to love you more and more,
And help us to obey your will”
