Scripture gives us many amazing reasons why Jesus came. In today\u2019s devotional, we\u2019re going to dive right into Paul\u2019s beautifully woven comments in Colossians 1:15-23.<\/p>\n
From this passage we learn that Jesus came to: reveal the Father, be King of kings and Lord of Lords, to restore everything in all of creation to God, to restore people to God, establishing peace between God and people, to cleanse us, cleanse us, eliminate the evil intent and deeds in our lives, enable us to live in ways that honor God and express his loving way.<\/p>\n
The events of Jesus\u2019s death and resurrection are the hinge on which all of time pivots.<\/p>\n
These promises and this work of the Lord are not automatically experienced in our lives. Paul tells us Jesus also came so that we could continue in faith.<\/p>\n
