Why Did Jesus Come?

The Lord would that all man would come to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord declared in his word that he did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Jesus had been dealing with a lot of self-righteous hypocrites, who sadly enough was part of the religious sect. Jesus used two words to describe his purpose in coming to this earth. The first word that he used was “righteous”, and the second word that he used was “sinners”. He did not say righteous and unrighteous… He said, righteous and sinners. Jesus called it as it was, and he called the self-righteous of that day just as he saw them… Sinners.

There was a time for most of my life where I was religious, but I was lost and on my way to hell. I’m glad the Lord came to where I was and showed me my need for salvation through Christ Jesus. On that day, I went from a religious yet lost man to a righteous saint and it was all taken care of because Jesus loved a nobody like I was. I’ll never be able to understand why he loved me so but I sure am glad he did. You’ve heard it said before, and I feel the need to say it one more time that I love him because he first loved me. Today could be the day that Jesus takes us home and I pray that you are ready if he does. With that I say even so, come, Lord Jesus.
