Came as a Baby to be a Savior and Coming to be
King
Jesus
was
born in Bethlehem, fulfilling the prophecy in Micah 5:2. Conceived by the Holy
Spirit in a virgin named Mary, He was born fully God and fully man. Jesus came
as a baby to be our Savoir, the Messiah!
Messiah Jesus came to bring life to us
through His grace. It was His coming which opened the door to the salvation of
the Gentile masses. However, Jesus was not sent to the Gentiles, but the lost
sheep of Israel to equip those who were His followers so that they could
evangelize the entire world after He left.
The short story is that Jesus lived a
sinless life, was crucified on the cross, died, and rose again! One of the
reasons Jesus came was to set the captive free, and to open the eyes of the
spiritually blind and the ears of the spiritually deaf (both were symbolized in
His healing of physical blindness and deafness).
Jesus Christ came as a Savior, but He’s
coming back again as King! One day, He will return to destroy this evil world
and set up a new kingdom. He is coming in power and glory; whereas, last time
He came in servanthood, humility, and suffering. Be Prepared—Christ is King and
He is coming back!
