DAY 3 – WHY DID JESUS COME TO DIE?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ
His KingdomI came that they may have  and  enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). (John 10:9, 10 AMP). 
 
Many Christians today are enduring life. They are suffering from all sort of sicknesses and diseases, they are broke, broken hearted, depressed, afraid of the future, etc. Such people have not realised or understood the purpose of Jesus Christ in their lives. “Christ in you, the hope of glory“. When a person has Jesus, he/she has everything because God has placed everything that person needs in Jesus. And Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In other words, there is hope for the future.
In John 10:10, Jesus said the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy. Satan came to steal the joy in your family, he came to steal your health, your business ideas, promotion, and all other gifts you received from God. He wants you in Hell.
BUT
He came that you may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance. He came that you will have eternal life. Jesus wants you to enjoy each day of your life. What did he do to make that possible? He took every pain and sorrow, fear, sickness and disease,  disappointments, failures, sins, and guilt to the cross. When all was done, He cried IT IS FINISHED!
If Jesus hadn’t come to die, we would have remained slaves to sin. And if He hadn’t resurrected from the dead, we would have been the most miserable people on earth. I thank God for sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross so that we can be made right with Him. Today we can go before His throne of grace with confidence. Hallelujah!

DAY 2 – WHY DID JESUS COME TO DIE?

His KingdomAnd you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:5, 8 NLT)
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord ’s favor has come. ” (Luke 4:18, 19 NLT)
Jesus brought Good news to the poor, healing to the sick, hope to the hopeless, faith to the faithless. He delivered those who were possessed by demons. He raised the death. And He gave us Power over all the powers of the enemy. Jesus came to die on the cross to set us free from the bondage of the devil.
Satan has no power over you again because God has bought you at a Price. You are saved, healed, empowered, equipped, and have been elevated in Jesus’ Name.
