The Mandate of the Church of Jesus Christ

 “But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah and Jesus fulfilled this manifesto well before any political, social and economic idealism came into being!  All followers of Christ are called to fulfil this, those who have received forgiveness of sins, accepted Jesus in their hearts and identified with His death, burial and resurrection through adult water baptism.  This is the Church of Jesus Christ’s mandate to judge with Christ’s righteousness the poor; to decide fairly for the meek of the earth; to strike the earth with the glorious Gospel of grace with our mouth and to banish those who continue to resist Christ’s marvellous sacrifice for the forgiveness of their sins!  Let each one who has Christ in them be a soul winner and a disciple maker!
