Have you ever had someone ask you the question, Why
did Jesus have come to earth? Part
of the answer is found in Hebrews 2:14-18; 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their
humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of
death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held
in slavery by their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he
helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made
like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and
faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for
the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was
tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Jesus did not enter the
world just to be here, He had a mission to fulfill. Here are three things he came to achieve.
1. He came to deliver us from
the fear of death. (14-15)
2. He came to deliver us from
the fury of judgment. . (16-17)
3. He came to deliver us from
the force of temptation. (18)
He has come for us; now He
invites us to come to Him. Joy to the world!
Have you received His joy?
Be wise today and always –
accept God’s gift of deliverance.
