Why did Jesus come to Earth?
Jesus came to Earth to be our Prophet, Priest, and King. These are the three offices of the Old Testament. Jesus’ mission was to fulfill those offices.
As a prophet, Jesus convicts, and calls for repentance in my life
As a priest, Jesus forgives, and grace is expressed to me
As a king, Jesus rules in all areas of my life
Join us this Sunday at Lakeview Community Church at 10:45 a.m., as Pastor Paul Kozar continues his month-long Christmas sermon series entitled “The Mission of God“.
Our reading this week will come from Luke 2:8-14:
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
