Why did Jesus come to earth? | Gina Elmes | 3rd March 2024

As we continue the series "Jesus is", Ps Gina asks a key question...Why did Jesus come to earth? What was His real mission? Do we properly understand this as many misconceptions abound?

Jesus didn't primarily come to sort out social justice or bring peace, or to free the people of the day from the Romans....disappointing many we are sure! Nor did Jesus come to get us all to live a morally upright life - although many of His teachings reflected this.

Jesus was and is The Messiah. He came to deal with our separation from God due to our sin. We are all born to sin as a result of Adam's revolt in the Garden of Eden. Since then, the Old Testament records how blood sacrifices were made as a result of sin. However, not until Jesus paid the final ransom price by His blood being shed, were all the sins of the world paid for (Mark 10.45).

This is the true nature of the Gospel message which Ps Gina explains at length, showing how our sin nature is able to be exchanged for a righteous nature when we accept Jesus into our lives as Saviour.

This is an amazing podcast, which answers in detail the nature of Jesus as a sinless Son of God the Father and Saviour of the World.
