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!
