Purpose

Luke 4:43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.”

Jesus knew His purpose and shared it with us.

With that being said, let us hear the words from Malachi 3:10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

When we find our purpose in Him we are blessed and become a blessing.

The Son’s reward for obeying the Father unto death is to win a bride.

Suggestions

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
