Why He Came

We may well ask ourselves, “Why did the Lord Jesus become a Man and enter His creation by coming to planet earth?” Here are some of the answers to that question:

He came to do His Father’s will:

• “Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7).

• “I came down from Heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me” (John 6:38).

He came to save:

• “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

He came to impart life:

• “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

He came to give light to those who believe:

• “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness” (John 12:46).

• “For this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth” (John 18:37).

This is “the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5), who we worship and praise today.
