WHY THE MAN FROM HEAVEN CAME TO EARTH

JOHN 3:11-18

Pastor Rick Jackson

I. JESUS CAME TO REVEAL THE FATHER [Jn. 14:7-12, 10:30]

1. God’s Love [Jn. 3:16]

2. God’s Interest [1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you]

Ps. 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

3. God’s Purpose [I Tm. 2:3-4]

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

II. JESUS CAME TO REVEAL HEAVEN [Jn. 14:1-3]

1. Where Saints Live Forever [Jn. 10:28]

2. Where Saints Understand [I Cor. 13:12]

3. Where Saints Dwell Joyfully [Rev. 21:4]

III. JESUS CAME TO REDEEM MANKIND

1. He Knew the Condition of Man [Lk. 19:10]

2. He Knew the Cost of Redemption [Galatians 3:13]

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

3. He Knew the Call of Salvation [Rom. 10:9-13]
