WHY JESUS CAME TO EARTH

JESUS CAME TO EARTH...

TO ENABLE US TO DO THINGS WE HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO BEFORE.

TO ENABLE US TO DREAM OF A FUTURE FULL OF PROMISE AND HOPE.

TO ENABLE US TO SEE THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF LIFE TO A TIME WHEN THERE WOULD BE ONLY THE LIGHT OF HIS LOVE.

TO ENABLE US TO ACHIEVE WHAT HAD NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED BEFORE.

TO ENABLE US TO FEEL WHAT HAD NEVER BEEN FELT BEFORE.

TO ENABLE US TO CLAIM THE POWER OF LOVE WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN CLAIMED BEFORE.

TO ENABLE US TO DIG DOWN DEEP WITHIN OURSELVES AND FORGIVE EACH OTHER.

TO ENABLE US TO LOVE OTHERS.

TO ENABLE US TO GIVE TO EACH OTHER AS GOD HAD GIVEN TO US.

TO ENABLE US TO ACCEPT HIM FULLY AND TOTALLY INTO OUR HEARTS SO WE CAN INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.


JESUS CAME TO GIVE TO US SO WE WOULD GIVE IN RETURN.

JESUS CAME TO GIVE TO US SO THAT WE WOULD BE GIVING IN OUR LIVES INSTEAD OF TAKING.

JESUS CAME TO GIVE TO US SO WE WOULD GIVE A LIGHT THAT SHINES OUT OF OUR LIVES.

JESUS CAME TO GIVE LOVE TO US SO WE WOULD GIVE IT TO OTHERS

JESUS CAME TO GIVE TO US SO WE WOULD TO GIVE OUR TIME, OUR TALENTS, AND OUR ALL FOR HIM.

JESUS CAME TO ISSUE PROCLAMATIONS FROM GOD,
TO ISSUE THE WISDOM OF LIFE,
TO ISSUE THE LAWS OF GOD,
TO ISSUE THE LAWS THAT CAN GO BEYOND JUST HOLDING SOCIETY TOGETHER, BUT LAWS THAT WILL HELP MEN AND WOMEN LEAD FRUITFUL LIVES FULL OF SPIRITUAL BOUNTY. HAPPINESS, JOY, AND PEACE.

JESUS CAME TO REACH OUT TO US. TO SHOW US THE HAND OF GOD, REACHING OUT TO US.

JESUS CAME TO SHOW US THE HAND OF GOD THAT HEALS, RESTORES, BUILDS UP, AND IS STILL REACHING OUT IN COMPASSION AND LOVE TO US THIS HOUR.

JESUS CAME TO SET FORTH A NEW LAW. A LAW BASED UPON LOVE RATHER THAN UPON FORCE AND POWER.

JESUS GAVE US A LIVING EXAMPLE OF HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US AND HOW FAR GOD WILL GO IN TRYING TO BRING US HOME TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN. GOD CHOSE TO MAKE HIS SON A HUMAN BEING, AND THEN HAVE HIS SON SUFFER AND DIE ON THE CROSS…AS A SACRIFICE IN OUR PLACE. RATHER THAN HAVE US BE A SACRIFICE, JESUS WENT IN OUR PLACE. THAT IS HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US.

JESUS WAS BORN AS A PERSON, NOT JUST TO COME AND PREACH AND TEACH, BUT TO ACTUALLY SHOW US WHAT FORGIVENESS, LOVE, AND REDEMPTION MEAN. IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO HAVE JUST BEEN A PREACHER OR TEACHER. NO. JESUS CAME TO ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF GOD'S LOVE. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT WORDS ARE CHEAP. YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. JESUS GAVE US BOTH WORDS AND ACTIONS. HE CAME AS LIVING PROOF THAT YOU ARE PRECIOUS AND REDEEMABLE.

JESUS CAME TO OFFER YOU ETERNITY.
