| 1,855 views

Explore some of the reasons Jesus was born, often teach our children that Jesus came, but seldom do we help them understand why He came. Perhaps we have never considered this or have come up with the idea this scripture presents but not the why. Explore that today.

I. Jesus was born to save His people from their sins. This implies that each of us is guilty of sin. Romans 3:23 affirms that, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Sin has caused a separation between us and God, a complete breaking of fellowship with Him. This ...read more

Contributed by Sonny Thomas, Sr. on May 1, 2002

based on 328 ratings

| 65,550 views

Although difficult for us to cope with, the death of a saint is precious to God.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." This seems like an odd verse. Why would death be precious to God?
