His Purpose Prevails

"Then (Jesus) said to (His Disciples), "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God." And he strictly charged and commanded the to tell this to no one, saying "The Son of man must suffer many things... be killed... and on the third day be raised" (Luke 9:20-22)

Jesus had a focus, a work and a purpose to accomplish. Declaration to the masses that Jesus is indeed the Christ, Messiah and Anointed One of God would eventually be proclaimed to the nations, but His name, His title and His position were not His priority. Jesus' priority was the necessary work He had to accomplish for salvation to be sure. How much more should we follow in His steps, not focused on our own titles, but rather simply doing the work of God and fulfilling the purpose He has for our lives!
