Why Jesus came to earth?
Why Jesus came to earth?
Well, have you ever question yourself the reason why Jesus came to earth? Recently, while attending Legion of Mary weekly meeting, this was the question thrown to me.
For me, I’m a non-Catholics and the knowledge I had about Jesus was not that much. Ever since I knew Jesus, I only know HE was cruxified till death to wash us clean from sin with HIS blood. HE makes a great history on the cross and we are chosen to be HIS child that bears HIS name.
To further support what I mention above; the extract below is a true evidence of Jesus dieing for us. Bible verses are very good evidence that explains everything; for which bible is a gift from God.
Jesus came to earth to give forgiveness and life to those who place their trust in Him. He could not provide forgiveness and life without coming to earth; because there had to be a payment for the sin of the human race (see related topics, below):
John 6:32-35 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 "For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world." 34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread." 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
John 6:38-40: "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. 40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
John 6:47-51 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. 48 "I am the bread of life. 49 "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 "This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever
John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Mat 18:11 "For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
Mat 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
John 12:46 "I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.
John 18:37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
1 John 3:8 The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 4:9 By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 1:1-4 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
Therefore, brother and sister under Christ, I hope after reading the above extract, you will have a better understanding why Jesus came to earth. There are many versions of reasons out in the world why Jesus came to earth and I just want to comment that "Do not let any facts manipulate your heart for Christ". Facts that are true and reliable are nonetheless our bible.
Last but not least, Christianity is based on faith, hope and love. We have Faith to live in a fallen world where things do not often go the way we would like. Yet we can trust God who is watching over us and personally cares for our life.
We have Hope for our life today no matter what may happen and hope for our future. Hope that the life to come is going to be more fulfilling and than anything we experienced on earth. We can Love God who gave the ultimate sacrifice in laying down the life of his human body to save us from the penalty of our sins.
God is indeed so good!! Alleluia!! Praise the Lord!
With Regards,
Sr. Xiao Ting.
