The father @ UJ

The cross was not an end to Jesus rather a means to an end. Jesus didnt come on earth just to die, no he had a greater plan than that, he came to seek that which was lost , to find that which was hidden and to reveal him who is unseen. The mission statement of Jesus was simply this " they must know my father and me"


Jesus came on earth to reveal the father to his children... he didnt come to judge the world, he didnt come to maintain a moral standard, he didnt even come to simply save people ( his plan is much bigger) he came to reveal who our real father is. Countless books are written on  fatherless children and the negative effect this has on humanity, stories are told of fatherless children who join gangs , who have no sense of identity yet as soon as a father figure comes into the picture their life style and choices change.

Jesus came on earth to reveal the uncreated one, the Holy one, the self-existing one. God is our father.. and he loves us, this is the good news we proclaim all over the world even over UJ!
