Why Jesus came to this world
Why Jesus came to this world
The Jewish rulers knew that Jesus would damage their authority and power. That is why they opposed Him. Jesus‘ miracles were what interested many of the crowds. They were not loyal to what he said. Even the disciples were selfish. They expected the kingdom to begin immediately, and they argued about the chief places in the kingdom. Peter even said that he did not know Jesus. This was a terrible failure.
But Jesus came to die for people like this. He left heaven, where God is. He came to earth, to suffer and to die. Jesus said this, to describe the purpose of his life:
28 Even the Son of Man himself came to earth to be a servant to other people. He did not come here to have servants who must work for him. No, he came to die so that many people can be free.’

Jesus came to rescue us from sin
Jesus today invites us to receive him as our Lord. If we repent, then God will forgive us. Jesus wants to give us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help us to obey Jesus. But it will not be easy. His way took him to the cross. Like him, we must serve others. In this world, we may have to suffer. But God will reward us. God will give us real life, which will continue in heaven.
