Why Jesus Came

(Mark 1:38-39) In Mark 1, Jesus declares another purpose for His coming. He came to preach! Jesus always preaches the truth, and He seeks after those who need to hear His message. What are the implications of His example in our lives? (05520211228) 

(Matthew 10:32-39) Jesus came bearing a sword, and that sword was the cross. The cross drives us to Christ, or it drives us away. It brings great division between those who know Christ and those who do not. You are either with Him or against Him. Whose side are you on today? (05519211227) 

(Matthew 20:28b) Jesus lived his whole life for one hour – the hour He would be lifted up on the cross and pay for our redemption.  Jesus paid the ransom price in full! Believe it, rejoice in it, and share it with someone else today! (05518211224) 

(Matthew 20:28a) As servants of God, we should find out what the Master wants us to do and make that our mission. The great motive in the life of Christ must become the great motive in the life of a Christian. In today’s message, we learn with James and John that serving others is our greatest “why.” (05517211223) 

(Matthew 5:17-18) It would be impossible for Jesus to save us had He not fulfilled ALL the law. Likewise, it is impossible for us to fully know Him without studying all of Scripture. His story does not begin at Bethlehem. Today we see that Jesus came to fulfill divine prophecies. (05516211222) 

(Matthew 1:21) Did Jesus only come into the world to live a good life and be a good teacher, or did He have a greater purpose? He came with a much greater purpose! He came to seek and to save all who will believe in Him. What a purpose! What a gift! (05515211221) 

(John 18:37) During the Christmas season we usually focus on HOW Jesus came, yet the greater truth is WHY He came. What was His great purpose? Over the next few episodes, we will discover the purpose statements of Jesus. Today, we’ll start with the end! (05514211220)
