In Coming
Contributed by Clark Tanner on Dec 4, 2008 (message contributor)
IN COMING
In coming into the world He confirmed God's promises.
In coming into the world He revealed the Father to us.
In coming into the world He was able to become our faithful High Priest.
In coming into the world He was able to put away sin.
In coming into the world He destroyed the works of the devil.
In coming into the world He gave us an example of a holy life.
In coming into the world He prepared for the Second Coming!
If Christ had come the first time in the way we look for Him the second, He could only have come in judgment. Our sins would not have been atoned, we all would have been lost and without God and a Holy Messiah could only have come to destroy.
