Why did Jesus have come
to earth the way He did 2000 years ago? 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:
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?
