Why did Jesus come in Specific term
1. To bring salvation to man kind Matthew 1:21 John 3:16 Hebrews 2:3 Acts 26:18/Colossians 1:13 (darkness connotes confusion, despair and hopelessness) -- Saving from what? ; from darkness, power of the devil, sin and lack of inheritance.
2. To restore joy to mankind Luke 2:10 1 Peter 1:8 -- there is a joy beyond description -- happiness is tied things while joy can only be found in Jesus Habakkuk 3:17-19 -- it's a joy that comes from the inner Man, it wells up from the recreated spirit of man Psalms 51:12 -- anytime you are down, ask yourself of you are still saved. If you are Christ, you are not permitted to live a life of depression. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 1 John 5:4
3. He came to bring peace to humanity Luke 2:14 John 14:27 Isiah 9:6 Romans 5:1-2 -- He came to restore peace between man and God. He also came to give us peace in life John 14:27 Philippians 4:7 - no man can give you peace, only Jesus. Things are happening but you are calm and at peace John 16:33 -- the things that shakes the world don't shake us because we have the unshakeable kingdom in us Hebrews 12:26-28
4. To restore divine presence to mankind Matthew 1:23 Isaiah 7:14. The greatest advantage in the battle of life is the presence of God Psalms 114:1-4 Romans 8:31 Hebrews 13:5/6 -- when God presence is with you, you are too sure of victory in the battles of life.
5. He came to give us life at it's best John 10:10 2 Peter 1:3 Galatians 3:13-14/ Deuteronomy 28:15-66 -- A life at its best is a Man that is blessed (blessings in every department's of life) as it's a life that is decorated, to make us a showpiece of God on earth 1 Peter 2:9
6. Jesus came to destroy all the works of the devil which include sin, sickness and all forms of oppressions 1 John 3:7-8 -- sin and evil became a choice, it has no more dominion over me Romans 6:14/16 -- after you are born again, sin can't hold you down Acts 10:38
7. To restore supernatural back to mankind John 3:8 -- the first man was a supernatural being before he fell. The supernatural is our natural state now as a child of God. We are redeemed as a wonder to our world (between now and the next Christmas, it shall be shown that Jesus has redeemed me as a wonder to my world). No more natural limitation for you
What to do for these Blessings to come on you
1. Receive Him as Lord and Saviour -- New birth John 3:3/7 John 1:12/14 -- If you are too big to repent, you are too big to be saved. If you are too big to return, you are too big to be restored.
