Why He Came! (part 2 of 6)

As the hymn asked the question, "Why Did My Savior Come To Earth?", we know it was out of selfless love Jesus came and accomplished all He came to fulfill. For centuries so much pointed toward the coming of the Messiah. Now, centuries later, we look back to those events which, in turn, compel us onward toward the Heavenly calling we have received. There were so many shadows of our Lord's coming of which He became the fulfillment. As Jesus came to do the Will of the Father He brought to completion the Heavenly plan.

Jesus stated. . .
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I HAVE NOT COME TO ABOLISH THEM BUT TO FULFILL THEM." ( Matthew 5:17 ESV)

In the fulfillment of that old order Jesus brought about a new one of which we can all be a part as we place our trust in Him. When Jesus stood before Pilate He acknowledged that new order with these words:
"Then Pilate said to him, 'So you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'You say that I AM A KING. FOR THIS PURPOSE I WAS BORN and FOR THIS PURPOSE I HAVE COME INTO THE WORLD -- to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.'" ( John 18:37 ESV)

CHRIST'S KINGDOM was established. As children of God we are citizens and subjects of that ETERNAL KINGDOM. And JESUS IS THE WONDERFUL MONARCH we serve and to Whom we pay tribute. Praise God He cannot be dethroned! May Jesus ever remain on the throne of our hearts.

Have a great day HAILING JESUS AS KING OF YOUR LIFE!
