Finished!

John 17:4; 19:30
“The finished work of Christ” – five powerful words that God used to bring missionary Hudson Taylor to saving faith.

Jesus Came to Proclaim the Good News

Luke 4:16-22
We learned in a previous broadcast that Jesus came to preach, and today we see that He delivered a very definite message. When Jesus came the first time, He graciously proclaimed the good news. His message will be very different when He comes again. Let’s find out what it will be!

Jesus Came to Give Life

As surely as eternal life can be your present possession, abundant life can be your present experience. In today’s broadcast we will uncover the Source of an abundant life!

Jesus Came to Open and Close

John 9:39-41
When we humbly receive God’s truth, He opens our hearts, and we grow in knowledge and understanding. But to those who reject His truth, He closes them off and judgment awaits. Have you thanked God for opening your eyes to His truth?

Jesus Came to Do the Will of God

John 6:38
Until we discover and do what God created us to do, we are never really fulfilled. As we study another purpose for which Jesus came, we find it is a purpose we all share. The question we must ask is, “am I living to accomplish my own agenda or to accomplish the will of God for my life?”

Jesus Came to Reveal God

John 1:1, 10-14
Would you like to see God? Everything you need to know about God, you can see in Christ – His glory, His wisdom, His love, His patience, His mercy, His power! Jesus perfectly reveals every aspect of God to mankind. It’s yet another reason why Jesus came!

Jesus Came to Give Light

John 12:46
God has given all of us light. We see the light of creation, experience the light of conscience, and are invited to receive the Light of the world. When we come to know Jesus, we are changed and no longer walk in darkness. Are you walking in darkness or light?

Jesus Came to Call Sinners

Mark 2:14-17
God’s truth demands a response! Imagine a physician who prescribed a cure, but the sick refused to admit they needed it. The Great Physician came to earth to call the spiritually sick (sinners) to repentance. Will you receive the cure?

Jesus Came to Preach

Mark 1:38-39
In Mark 1, Jesus declares another purpose for His coming. He came to preach! Jesus always preaches the truth, and He seeks after those who need to hear His message. What are the implications of His example in our lives?

Jesus Came to Divide

Matthew 10:32-39
Jesus came bearing a sword, and that sword was the cross. The cross drives us to Christ, or it drives us away. It brings great division between those who know Christ and those who do not. You are either with Him or against Him. Whose side are you on today?

Jesus Came to Sacrifice

Matthew 20:28b
Jesus lived his whole life for one hour – the hour He would be lifted up on the cross and pay for our redemption. Jesus paid the ransom price in full! Believe it, rejoice in it, and share it with someone else today!

Jesus Came to Serve

Matthew 20:28a
As servants of God, we should find out what the Master wants us to do and make that our mission. The great motive in the life of Christ must become the great motive in the life of a Christian. In today’s message, we learn with James and John that serving others is our greatest “why.”

Jesus Came to Fulfill

Matthew 5:17-18
It would be impossible for Jesus to save us had He not fulfilled ALL the law. Likewise, it is impossible for us to fully know Him without studying all of Scripture. His story does not begin at Bethlehem. Today we see that Jesus came to fulfill divine prophecies.

Jesus Came to Save

Matthew 1:21
Did Jesus only come into the world to live a good life and be a good teacher, or did He have a greater purpose? He came with a much greater purpose! He came to seek and to save all who will believe in Him. What a purpose! What a gift!

During the Christmas season we usually focus on HOW Jesus came, yet the greater truth is WHY He came. What was His great purpose? Over the next few episodes, we will discover the purpose statements of Jesus. Today, we’ll start with the end!
