Jesus' Work

 

    Some people still do not understand why Jesus came into this world.  He was not a martyr.  He was not just a great teacher or role model.  He came to save the world.  He came to be the last sacrifice.  His death was a substitute for our eternal one, but the reason behind it was planned before he ever was born.

    Jesus came into this world to bear the sins on his body while it hung on a cross.  His death had to horrendous because sin is horrendous.  He did it, so that we have the opportunity to become righteous.  We are all guilty of sin.  Jesus is the only one who can remove our sins forever.

    We are all unrighteous.  We are misunderstand God.  We are all guilty of not seeking God.  We have all turned away from God.  We all live a less than worthy lifestyle to be a part of God's family.  No one does good on our own.  No one is perfect.  No one is better than anyone else.  We all need Jesus equally.

    We are born into this world a slave to sin.  Jesus came to break those chains.  It resulted in his death, but he did not stay dead.  He rose again with our hope for eternal life.  Without Jesus we are children of fleshly thoughts and inclinations.  We live however our heart desires in our natural sin state.  When we accept salvation, we change when we encounter the truth.  It all is because of Jesus' work.
