Introduction: In this message we will see six reasons for Jesus Christ coming to this world. Why did Jesus Christ have to leave his home in heaven, become a man on this earth, and die on the cross of calvary? These are the reasons why.
Jesus Christ Came To:
1. Pay A Ransom- Mark 10:45 “and to give his life a ransom for many”. When the ransom is paid, it is known as being Redeemed, that is to deliver by paying a price. Because of one man, sin came into the world, and someone had to pay for the sins of the world. Jesus Christ gave his life in exchange (ransom), as a substitute for many. Jesus death on the cross paid for our sins, nothing else would do. Sin was the cause and Christ was the cure- He paid the ransom that was owed for sin. The ransom that was paid wasn’t just money but it was a life, that is, the life of Jesus Christ. (The sins were atoned (covered) but not forgiven).
2. Seek and Save The Lost- Luke 19:10 “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost”. This is the story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector who sought to see Jesus and then received him joyfully. Luke 15:1-7 even Jesus Christ went after one sinner- It was worth it. Jesus Christ appeared to Zacchaeus vs 9 “This day is salvation come to this house”. This morning Jesus Christ is seeking for you to save you from your lost condition, just like He did with Zacchaeus. You have to recognize that you are not righteous, but you can become righteous in Him. Get saved today!
3. Light up The World- John 12:46 “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness”. Jesus Christ came to this world to be light in the darkness- in other words, so that we could live clean lives in the light and not dirty lives in darkness.
4. Call Sinners to Repentance- Luke 5:32 “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”. Jesus Christ is still calling sinner to repentance even thou he has ascended to the Father, how? He is doing it through us, the believers John 14:12 John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works that these shall he do; because I go unto my Father”.
5. Jesus came to Save Sinners- I Timothy 1:13-16 “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”. Jesus is calling sinner to repent through: Your testimony, Your witness, gospel tracts, NT Bibles.
6. Defy Households- Matthew 10:35-39 “/ Luke 12:51-53 “nay but rather division”. Illustration: The husband who used to beat his wife every time she would get back from church. No family can reach their full potential without God, He must be first. Husband / Wife/ Triangle illustration- they are closer to each other as they get closer to God.
7. Give Life- John 10:10 “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”. Life only comes to a man by believing in Jesus Christ. A man outside of Jesus Christ only exists.
Conclusion: Jesus Christ had a purpose for coming into this World. We have seen six reasons why Jesus came into the World.
