Why He Came

 Why He Came

The Apostle John referring to Jesus as "the Word", states,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  

He was with God in the beginning. 

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men....

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. " John 1:1-4,14.

Christians believe Jesus is God incarnate.

We believe that by becoming flesh. By coming into this world as a child. Jesus experienced first hand what it was to be human. Jesus understood what it was to grow up in an average family. He attended parties, had friends. He even experienced what it was like to walk in the rain. Feel the sun on his face. 

Further more he knew what it was like to suffer at the hands of evil men and die in an horrendous way on a Roman cross.

But death did not hold him scripture tells us he rose again walked on the earth for awhile before ascending to heaven where He will one day judge the world.  

Thus when anyone stands before God on the day of judgement they can never say you don’t know what it is like to be human, because He does.

The New Testament is clear as to why Jesus came into this world. The apostle John writing, 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". John 3:16-18.

Thus the question remains; Do you believe this?

Please think about it.
