Why Did Jesus Come?
Why Did Jesus Come?Chapter 3 — Jesus Christ
Lesson 18: Why Did Jesus Come?Jesus came to make God known and to save sinners.
Explanation
Jesus came into the world with a clear purpose: to save sinners and to make the Father known. He did not come only to give good advice or to show a moral example. He came to seek and to save what was lost.
His coming shows how great God’s love is and how serious the problem of sin is. We needed a Savior, and God sent His Son.
Bible story
When He enters the house of Zacchaeus, Jesus says: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Zacchaeus was looked down on by many, but Jesus goes straight to him and changes his life. That is what His mission looks like.
Remember
- The truth: Jesus came to make God known and to save sinners.
- Jesus came on purpose to save, not only to inspire.
- The Lord seeks the lost and comes close to them with grace and truth.
Luke 19:10
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
