Sæktu forritiðWhy Did Jesus Come to Earth?Sýnishorn
Jesus came to bring peace between God and man.
Where is the peace the angels sang about when Jesus was born? There seems to be more turmoil and stress every year. Has there ever been a time of real peace?
When God created the earth, it was good. There was no pain, envy, bitterness, or strife. But through one act of disobedience, sin entered the world, and people’s relationship with God was broken.
God promised to send a future Savior for all humankind. He sent Jesus to repair the divide and bring peace between God and people.
We have all sinned and are separated from God because of our sin. But we can have the gift of peace with God when we surrender to Jesus as Lord, believing He died for our sin and was raised from the dead. This is why Jesus is called the Prince of Peace and why at His birth the angels declared, “Peace on earth, goodwill toward mankind.”
About this Plan
God is complex. We cannot fully understand Him. He is also relational and has been revealing Himself to mankind since the beginning of time. Jesus was not created but was with God from the beginning. Why did Jesus come to earth? Where is the peace His birth was supposed to bring? Some answers to these questions are found in this five-day Bible study.
