The mission of Jesus is a central theme in the Bible, as it encompasses his earthly ministry, teachings, death, and resurrection, all of which are rooted in God's plan to redeem humanity. According to Luke 19:10, Jesus' mission was "to seek and to save the lost," while in John 3:16, it is written that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." As stated in Matthew 20:28, Jesus came "not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many," demonstrating the selfless nature of his mission, which is a cornerstone of the Christian faith. Through his mission, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 61:1-2, which declares that the Messiah would bring good news to the poor, freedom to the captives, and sight to the blind, ultimately redeeming humanity and offering salvation to all who believe in him.
