I am a Jesus pusher!!! The ministry of Jesus in Galilee was focused on the purpose of God. It is proven by the prophecy given by Isaiah hundreds of years before it happened (Matthew 4:14). God had a plan; Jesus is the plan! He is not like the owner of a large factory who employees hundreds of men. The owner will never meet these men; they are simply a means to an end. God’s plan is Jesus; there is personal involvement in my life with Him. If this is not true, He could not be the plan. Jesus going to Galilee fulfilled (pleroo) what God prophesied through Isaiah. This Greek word paints the picture of an empty container. Content is placed into the empty container. The container is quickly filled, completed, or overflowing with the content. In this passage, the container is the dream in the heart of God. This dream is an intimate part of the very nature of God. To discard this dream would be to discard who He is. If this plan is not accomplished, He is left empty and unfulfilled. Jesus is found in the dream of the heart of God. Jesus is the plan.
If I miss Jesus, I miss everything that fulfills the heart of God. If I am not intimate with Jesus, I am not intimate with the heart of God. If I am not sourced by Jesus, I miss the righteousness of the heart of God. If I do not embrace Jesus, I miss the embrace of the heart of God. I must run to Jesus! There is no other place to which I can turn. In the person of Jesus I find my destiny, the plan. Jesus is where I belong; He is home! There is safety in Him; He is the haven of my soul!
