Intro
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
Seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Attributed to Francis of Assisi
Everyone in this room has a purpose.
There may be some difference in opinion about the purposes of our lives.
But we all have them.
Some have purpose to be great students, great athletes, great parents, loving spouses, successful in business, etc.
But what if OUR purposes do not line up with God’s?
How can we Pursue Our Purpose and God’s?
What exactly is God’s purpose for our lives?
We are purposed with being instruments of God.
Let us examine God’s word this morning in context.
lk 24 44-
lk 24 44-
We pick up here having these 11 apostles and several other disciples having gone through a tumultuous weekend.
Jesus, their master, their hoped for savior, had been killed brutally on the cross.
It was three days later and the promise to rise had yet to happen.
But here in this room they are in the process of being told by Cleopas and his companion, after travelling 7 miles, about how Jesus had appeared to them and came into their house!
Jesus opened their eyes to see that He was still alive.
Now he will do more with them showing them this and their PURPOSE.
Jesus Lives!
V 36-43
Jesus APPEARS in the room.
WITHOUT using the door!
He is alive but yet different.
He calms their fears.
V39-40 He assures them that he IS the same Jesus.
41-43 He eats to show that he is HE.
Perhaps to show His humanity.
I Am Who They Said I Was V 44-45
Jesus must first explain that he is who he has been explaining to them this whole time.
And what he taught them had to be fulfilled.
Explain what it means for something to be fulfilled.
twas an expectation of Christ according to the scriptures written in their time.
These Scriptures consisted of the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.

V45- Jesus revisited this with them for the purposes of Opening their minds.
Define the word.
He needed them to understand that he was more than a teacher, a prophet, or a supposed military leader!
He did not come to start a civil war or to just have a brief influence on society!
He IS the Messiah/Savior/Christ!
If you want to line your purpose up with God’s purpose for you then you must first OPEN your mind to who Jesus is!
What his purpose was!
You and everyone you know is in NEED of a savior!
So why were the closest 11 people to him sitting a room together?
They had done many great things with Jesus.
In this moment he showed them something profound.
Your purpose isn’t about what you have DONE but rather what you are ACTIVELY DOING!
Opened their minds= to make perceive ⇔ open v. — to make a body part perceive, conceived of as opening the body part, for example, the eyes or ears.
“Your purpose is not about what you have DONE but rather what you are actively DOING!” ~Bro.
