Why Jesus Came

Christmas is a wonderful time of celebration. All around our city are trees, decorations, presents, good food, wonderful music. Yet why do we celebrate? What is it that we’re celebrating? Christians usually want to remember “the reason for the season”, namely that Jesus came to the world.
Yet, the fact that Jesus came is not enough. The joy comes from knowing why he came. What was his mission? What did he achieve by coming into the world and being born as a human, living the perfect life, dying on the cross and rising again? The fact that God has become man and come to us is good news; understanding why Jesus came is simply wonderful. This Advent we explore what the Bible has to say about Why Jesus Came.
