Why did Jesus come into the world. Most would say that he came to die. But his death was a means to an end, that we might be brought to God!
We consider this purpose statement in 1 Peter 3:18, we see the importance Christ's coming for our union or fellowship with God. This is the purpose of his coming and his suffering.
We also consider that he did this for US. A people. Making us brothers and sisters in Christ.
There are important truths that we would do well to remember this season.
