Why Did My Savior Come to Earth? (Series 4 of 4)
A Savior is Born
INTRODUCTION
"Why did my Savior come to earth, and to the humble go? Why did he choose a lowly birth? Because he loved me so! Why did He drink the bitter cup of sorrow, pain and woe? Why on the cross be lifted up? Because he loved me so! He loved me so, He loved me so; He gave his precious life for me, for me, because he loved me so."
“Why Did My Savior Come to Earth?” by J.G. Dailey
“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" (John 3:16—17)
There was a reason Jesus came to this earth, there was a reason Jesus made his dwelling among us.
