HIS PURPOSE
Mood:  sharp
HIS PURPOSE WAS TO DRAW US BACK TO HIS FATHER AND OUR FATHER, AND TO DRAW US BACK TO THE TRUE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR GOD_ JUST LIKE EVERY PROPHET BEFORE HIM IN THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE. THEY WOULD STRAY AND GOD WOULD SEND THEM SOMEONE TO GET THEM BACK IN LINE. YASHUA WAS NO DIFFERENT IN THIS PURPOSE. ISREAL HAD STRAYED SO FAR WITH ALL THEIR MAN MADE LAWS AND ISOLATION THAT THEY HAD LOST SIGHT OF GOD'S PLAN FOR THEM.
