Why was Jesus sent?
To show us the heart of God and draw all men to that heart.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

To seek and save the lost so that we might live IN Him.

 

[BreadOfLife]

For the reasons already shared - and even more directly:
To bring about the forgiveness of sins.

Jesus Himself tells us this on the night of His Resurrection when He appears to His disciples.
John 20:21-23
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins YOU forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins YOU retain are retained.”

Jesus was sent to brng about the forgiveness of sins so that we could be saved.
Here, He gives that authority to His discuples - the first leaders of His Church.

Excellent question Matt, why is it excellent? Perhaps because I know the answer ;). Actually Jesus came for 3 reasons sir, first and foremost he said this:
(Luke 4:43) . . .“I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”

#2: (Matthew 20:28) . . .the Son of man came to minister and to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many. . .

#3: To answer the issue Matt: satan claimed basically that man was a defective creation in fact he said to Jehovah Himself: (Job 2:4) . . .satan answered Jehovah: “Skin for skin. A man will give everything that he has for his life. satan said this right in front of the angels stationed before Jehovah's throne V1. So he made a statement, since no human had ever not sinned, could they? Jesus never sinned sir, so he proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Jehovah's creation was able to remain perfect, and that it was Adam's misuse of free will that led to our imperfection.

I've heard said Jesus came here to die. I can understand the reasoning behind that, but something in me, maybe the part that got loved, is appalled at the thought of seeing Jesus as merely a sacrifice.

For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! (Romans 5:10)

 

[MatthewG]

There has to be more shouldn’t there be?

Why was Jesus ultimately sent for?

1 John 4.10: "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."

 

[MatthewG]

Thank you for sharing, Farouk.

Surely others will share their thoughts and some scripture as well! Hope you are well.

Jesus came to Earth as a witness to the whole inhabited universe of the heart of God.
His condescension and willing submission to his creatures revealed to all intelligences that Satans charge against God was a lie.
It forever settled the doubt sown by Lucifer. God was vindicated, mankind rescued and Satan self condemned.

 

[MatthewG]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I wonder what others think as well. :)

 

[farouk]

Another verse close to the last verse posted is at 1 John 4.14: "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world."

 

[MatthewG]

You guys are awesome, thank you for sharing.


Anyone who would like to may do so. :)

Great thread; with Biblical answers....

“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour." John 12:27

 

[Lambano]

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

 

[Lambano]

For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. (John 12:47)

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:17)

In case you were wondering what He didn't come for...

 

[Lambano]

I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly. (John 10:10)

 

[MatthewG]

Wow those are very helpful scriptures, Lambano.

Going through them what are your own overall thoughts on the subject ?
