The Rescue Mission

“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” - Luke 4:18-19

Jesus came to undo all the horrendous consequences that sin has had on the human race, and restore to people their true freedom and dignity as sons and daughters of God.

Jesus was sent by God on a ‘rescue mission’. He came to restore justice to the oppressed, wholeness to the sick, comfort to the lonely, and joy and restoration to those isolated from God.

God has rescued us through His Son, the Lord Jesus, and He calls us to be part of His mission to a lost and broken world.
