"Why Did My Savior Come To Earth?
Contributed by Paul Norwood on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: A look at just eight of the reasons stated in the New Testament of why Jesus left the glory of heaven and came to this earth.
Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” That’s why we should all be faithful Christians – as Jesus promises in Revelation 2:10 – “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
IV. Conclusion/Invitation
This morning we have looked at eight of the reasons our Savior came to this earth. I didn’t present them in any order and they certainly weren’t all the reasons He came. But every one is of value to us if we seek to do the Father’s will. Perhaps the most important question we should ask ourselves this morning is: Are we going to receive the crown of life? If we’ve never repented of our sins and had them washed away, we’re outside of Christ. If we’re no longer walking in the light of the gospel, we’re out of fellowship with the Lord’s body and need to come home like the prodigal son. Why not escape the bondage of sin this morning through the blood of Christ as we stand and sing this song of encouragement?
