“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).

WHAT A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION ABOUT JESUS' MISSION

#6. was very impressive "He came to give His life as a ransom." What happened on that day 14 days after the first new moon after the spring equinox of his last year of his life in physical form literally changed an aspect of Judaism when he fulfilled the Law. Those two part of his 'mission' always impressed me.
