TOPIC: *WHAT CHRIST CAME TO DO*
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
*MESSAGE*
Many believers know Jesus Christ is the son of God, but we should also understand His mission, how He fulfilled it, and what that means to each of us. Christ had a twofold goal in coming to earth: to provide us with a tangible image of who God is, and to die in our place to pay our penalty for sin.
What an incredible plan! The omnipotent, omniscient Lord that existed since eternity past (John 1:1 John 8:15). Yet for a time, He set aside power and strength that were rightfully His, so that He could become like us. Because God-in-human-flesh lived His life before men, we can better understand our heavenly Father (Colossians 1:15).
Through Christ's sacrifice, we are invited into an eternal relationship with God. Scripture teaches that every descendants of Adam is guilty of sin (Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23), and the punishment is death (Romans 6:23). The penalty must be paid by the shedding of blood (Leviticus 17:11). Yet the father can accept nothing less than a perfect sacrifice (Deuteronomy 17:1). The Savior---who was fully God, fully man, and 100 percent innocent---died a humiliating, excruciating death to pay the debt we couldn't afford. He is the only one who could lay down his life to save us and bridge the gap between each person and the Father.
It is an awesome gift that the Father freely offers to each one of us. The only requirement is that you receive Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour and follow Him.
*ACTION POINT*
Have you chosen to accept the amazing blessing from the Father's hand.
*SCRIPTURES*
John 1:1; 8:58; Romans 3:23; 6:23; Leviticus 17:11.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, thank You for giving me the gift of salvation in Your son Jesus Christ;
2. Lord, help me to spread this good news in the name of Jesus;
3. O God, let me not look back on this journey but continue to the very end in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR*
Leviticus 12:1-13.23; Psalm 115-116; Mark 4:21-41.
