Jesus Was Born to Die For Our Sins



All men must die, but only one man was born, so that HE could die!!!  And that man was and IS Jesus Christ!!!



How many of us really and truly realize that Jesus was alive and living with The Father in the beginning???



John 1:1-5 (AMP)

 1IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.

 2He was present originally with God.

 3All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.

 4In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

 5And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].



Do we really understand that even as this world was created or formed, that Jesus was right there with The Father???

 


John 1:9-10  9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

10
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

 


Genesis 1:26 (KJV)  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…



Do we understand that Jesus was very much alive before HE came to this earth and was born of the virgin, Mary???



John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.




 Do we really understand that Jesus was born to die for us as the Ultimate Sacrifice for OUR SINS???  HE WAS BORN TO DIE FOR US!!!



Hebrews 10:5-10 (NKJV)

 5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:


      “ Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
      But a body You have prepared for Me.

 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
      You had no pleasure.

 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
      In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
      To do Your will, O God.’”




Psalm 40:6-8 (NKJV)

 6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
         My ears You have opened.
         Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

 7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
         In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
         And Your law is within my heart.”



The coming of The Messiah (The CHRIST), Our Lord and SAVIOR was foretold of long before HE came to this earth!!! 


Isaiah 9:6-7 (KJV) 

6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.


 7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.




Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV)
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
