E wake up very early before day break, comot go one place wey nobody dey, and E pray for there. Simon and di people wey dey with am follow go look for Jesus. When dem find Am, dem tell Am, “Everybody dey look for You.” E tell dem, “Make we go di villages wey dey nearby, so I fit preach for there too. Na because of this I come.” Mark 1:35-38
Why Jesus come? Wetin be di purpose of His life for this world? This passage show say E come to preach di Good News to everybody.
But make you understand that statement well. E no mean say Jesus life na only about wetin E teach. No be say E just be one great man wey get wisdom, wey come share His wisdom with us. Even though that statement na true, e no show di full truth about Jesus and His mission.
So, wetin be di main thing wey E come do? E come preach about Himself as DI Truth wey dem dey speak. Jesus NA di full revelation of di Father for Heaven, and na Him be di revelation of ALL Truth. So, wetin Jesus talk mean say E come to give Himself fully to everybody. E come to give Himself to di people wey E preach to, no be just figure of speech, as E travel from village to village. E mean say E still dey give Himself to all of us every time we listen to and receive His Living Word: di Living Word of His very life.
Today, reflect on di fact say Jesus want “travel” come di village of your mind and heart. E want come find you and bring you no be only His words of eternal life, but His very self too. Allow Jesus to minister to you, and allow Am to speak to you clearly and truthfully.
My Lord wey be Lord over all Truth, I dey look for You, and I dey open to make You look for me. Help me make I dey open to everything wey You wan reveal to me, and help me make I receive You as di Gospel wey dey Alive. Jesus, na You I trust.
