Accepting God's Purpose for your Life: The religious leaders of Jesus' day had a purpose. It was to welcome Messiah and inaugurate the Kingdom. They stubbornly refused to step into their purpose, and it caused disaster. When Jesus confronts us with our purpose, and we resist, we too court disaster for the course set before us. We must do what we can to discern our purpose, and once we find it, step into it with all our heart.
