  • Final destination of Jesus

Chapter 11-16: Ministry in Jerusalem leading up to Jesus’s Death and Resurrection

Purpose of the Book:

1. To show the Romans that Jesus is God. His Authoritative Action over nature, sin and religion confirms this

1. Christian Authority is to be used for servanthood

  • Not to be an overlord but taking my authority and taking it to show us THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF AUTHORITY SHOULD BE USED IN THE LOWEST OF WAYS

2. Christ’s Ministry was His mission

  • He’s constantly doing things for people. He cares deeply for ministry… not for himself but for others.
