    About this ebook

    Thousands of books have been written about Jesus, his life, his mission and his teaching but none has explained as deeply as "Jesus – Mission Aborted" the tragic and abrupt ending of his public ministry. One key character in particular has escaped scrutiny: John the Baptist. Although he is remembered as a great saint by most Christians, a detailed study of his action reveals a darker aspect of his personality. Since he was predestined to "prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his path straight" why didn't he become one of the 12 disciples? Why did Jesus say of him "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me".

    "Jesus – Mission Aborted" is the most challenging book ever written about Jesus. It will upset all that you have been taught in your Bible studies. This little book "shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey".

      Conclusion: Parallels between Jesus’ Day and Today

      Introduction

      The word Messiah in Hebrew means the anointed one, signifying a king. The chosen people of Israel believed in the Word of God as revealed through the prophets, which promised that God would send them a king and savior. Such was their messianic expectation. God sent this Messiah in the person of Jesus Christ. Christ is the Greek word for Messiah.

      The Messiah comes to fulfill the purpose of God’s work of salvation. Human beings need salvation because of the Fall. Hence, before we can clarify the meaning of salvation, we must first understand the matter of the Fall. Furthermore, since the Fall implies the failure to accomplish God’s purpose of creation, before we can clarify the significance of the Fall, we must first understand the purpose of creation.

      God’s purpose of creation was to be fulfilled with the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. However, due to the human Fall, we have built hell on earth in place of God’s Kingdom. Since the Fall, God has been repeatedly working His providence to restore the Kingdom. Being the history of the providence of restoration, human history’s primary goal is to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

      1 - Salvation through the Cross

      1.1 The purpose of Jesus’ Coming as the Messiah

      Jesus came as the Messiah for nothing less than the complete salvation of humanity; he was to fulfill the goal of the providence of restoration. Jesus was supposed to establish the Kingdom of Heaven, first on the earth. We can infer this from Jesus’ own teaching to his disciples, " You, therefore, must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect."(Matt. 5:48). A person who has realized the purpose of creation does not commit sin, because he is in full harmony with God and possesses a divine nature. With respect to the purpose of creation, such a person is perfect as Heavenly Father is perfect. Jesus gave this teaching to his disciples with the hope that they could be restored as people who had realized the purpose of creation and become citizens of the Kingdom. Furthermore, Jesus taught people to pray that God’s Will be done on earth as it is in heaven because he came to renew fallen humanity as citizens of God’s Kingdom and build the Kingdom on earth. He also urged the people, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matt. 4:17) . For the same reason, John the Baptist, who came to prepare the way of the Lord, also announced the imminence of the Kingdom (Matt. 3:2).

      What will people be like once they have been restored as those who have realized the purpose of creation and become perfect as Heavenly Father is perfect? Such people are fully attuned to God and experience God’s Heart within their innermost self. They possess a divine nature and live their life with God, inseparable from Him. Moreover, they do not have the original sin, and hence are
