The Reason He Came ::: He Came to Seek and Save the Lost

Modern Humanity is stuck. In spite of the fact that we can search the stars above and explore the secrets of the microscopic world, we are stuck. We are stuck with our longings for eternity and undying youth. We are stuck with our inability to keep the moral standards we know are right. We are stuck with the problem of evil and suffering, with sickness war, and death. We are stuck because we cannot save ourselves from ourselves. We need to be rescued, but to be rescued a ransom must be provided to make right what has been wrong. That is why Jesus came. In a world where everyone seems entitled to their own desires, Jesus came to serve. In a world where everyone takes, he came to give. He came to give his life as a ransom for the many who cannot save themselves from themselves.

La razon de su venida ::: Él Vino a Hacernos Suyos

Cuando somos repudiados, se nos priva de la dignidad básica de nuestra humanidad. Como portadores de la imago Dei fuimos creados para reflejar la gloria de Dios y pertenecer a él. Desde Génesis 3, nuestros corazones anhelan volver a él pero no pueden hacerlo. En las garras del pecado, nuestros corazones rechazan el mismo amor que necesitan desesperadamente. Por eso Jesús tuvo que venir. Él vino a los suyos incluso si los suyos lo rechazaron porque, por la gracia de Dios, los corazones rebeldes y pecadores de aquellos que le responden con fe pueden nacer de nuevo y convertirse en lo que Dios nos hizo ser, sus hijos.

The Reason He Came ::: To Make Us His Own

When we are disowned, we are deprived from the basic dignity of our humanity. As bearers of the imago Dei we were made to reflect God’s glory and to belong with him. Ever since Genesis 3, our hearts long to return to him but are unable to do so. In the grip of sin, our hearts reject the very love they desperately need. That’s why Jesus had to come. He came to his own even if his own rejected him because, by God’s grace, the sinful rebellious hearts of those who respond to him in faith can be born again and become what God made us to be, his children.
