Why Did Jesus Come?

Why did Jesus come?

___________

*To reveal the truth to anyone willing to repent:

Matthew 11:16“But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

17“and saying:

‘We played the flute for you,

And you did not dance;

We mourned to you,

And you did not lament.’

18“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

19“The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

____________

*To fulfill the law and reward those who encouraged others to follow Him in the same. He will take away the reward of those who teach the church to chill out:

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV - "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

____________

*To sift/divide/create unity from anyone willing to make a costly stand in the truth

Matthew 10:34 NKJV — “Do not think that I CAME to bring peace on earth. I did not COME to bring peace but a sword.

___________

*To bring division, to set fire, and to baptize and be baptised

Luke 12:49“I CAME to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50“But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!

51“Do you suppose that I CAME to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.

___________

*To be food, as the Word, collected and consumed on a daily basis, to any willing to search it out, collect it, and eat it

John 6:51 NKJV — “I am the living bread which CAME down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

___________

*To represent the Father to humanity and to obey him

John 8:42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and CAME from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

___________

*To forever save and eternally preserve the lives of anyone willing to give up their lives, even to the point of hating this current life without Him, for His sake. To lead anyone willing to serve Him

John 12:25“He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

27“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I CAME to this hour.

False Love (Polite Ignoring of Truth) Is Killing the Bride of Christ

Romans 16:17Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 18For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. 19For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. We live in the age that Paul described to Timothy: 2 Timothy 3:1But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having...

Advent: Anticipating the Coming of Messiah

-
Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. In the end, everyone is going to get what they want.  This is the beauty and tragedy of being loved by an eternal Father.  Love requires free will.  Free will means I get the freedom to have my own will.  Everyone will get their will empowered in the end.  For the same love that gives everyone what they want, there is a delay in the giving over to desire.  God gives us time to change our mind that we could learn to want what He wants for us....that our will could be conformed to His. Judgment...even the seals, trumpets and bowls of Revelation...are simply the giving over of mankind to what it wants, even though what it wants is not good.  It happens incrementally and in a process so that we could repent....that we could see what we want won't really satisfy, and change our minds. That's why the end time judgment comes in 21 steps. In the d...

Decision Tree for Reading this Post: 1.   I am already convinced my denomination or apostolic network is correct and I am a team player.  My ideology and network matters more than truth: please go to 2. 2.   Please, do not read this post.  It won't help you. 3.   I believe in christian unity at all costs and am not interested in changing my mind, please go to 2. 4.   I believe all ecumenical unity is evil and am not interested in changing my mind, please go to 2. 5.   I am interested in a different Biblical perspective to consider about unity and I like hearing what Jesus says to lots of people so that I can talk to Him myself with a more full perspective: please go to 6. 6.   Yay, please read this Post. False Unity: Ecumenicism, Math, and Time The Bible has a LOT to say about unity of the church.  We know unity is going to happen just before the great harvest brings a massive number of people to the church in one gene...

Sanctified? Spared?

-
I believe in a safe place in the judgment unfolding. Though it is largely rejected, it isn't too late.  A sanctified people in a consecrated place can turn back the tide of trouble for their land if they are willing to humble themselves and submit to the clear instructions of the Lord. Only a sanctified people can do this. God doesn't care about the quality of the music or the articulation of the words of the prayers, or the appearance of the sanctuary....it is the cleanliness of heart and the willingness to stand with Him in His righteous judgments....to attribute to Him the truth: that He is the one behind the trouble, and that because He is allowing it, even raising it up, it is good. That God defines and discerns good and evil differently than man, and has every right to is the message of the sanctified. That man's discernment of good has led us into this mess is the message of the sanctified. That no king can save us but the One who loved completely different than...

Tent of Meeting and the Tabernacle of Moses

-
The Tent of Meeting Moses set up outside the camp was a precursor to the Tabernacle of Testimony that would follow it. Rebellion of God's people brought about the Tabernacle of Meeting, or the temporary tent Moses erected to stay near God himself, until the rebellion was dealt with. When Moses first went up on Mt. Sinai, God showed him to build the Tabernacle of Testimony. The instructions God gave Moses were for a public meeting place. When Moses came down from Mt. Sinai he found Israel, the people God had offered the Tabernacle to, worshiping the Golden Calf Aaron had made. God told Moses He would no longer go with Israel. God withdrew His offer to be in the camp of Israel, but God did not withdraw the promise to take Israel to the promised land and drive out her enemies! Here the Lord was testing Israel. Did she want God, or simply the promises of God?: Exodus 33:1Then the LORD said to Moses, “Depart and go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought out o...
