Into The World!
"Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners."
1 Timothy 1: 15
On fourteen different occasions, the Bible says that
Jesus came “into the world.” He wasn’t simply born.
He left heaven and came into the world.
The Lord Himself said, “I came forth from the Father and have
come into the world” (John 16:28). He told Pontius Pilate, “For
this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the
world, that I should bear witness to the truth” (John 18:37).
Only Jesus would say something like that, for He
knew His eternal origin and His divine mission.
The apostle Paul picked up on this phrase when he gave
his testimony to Timothy, saying, “This is a faithful saying
and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners, of whom I am chief” (1 Timothy 1:15).
Jesus came into the world, that He might come into your heart.
He comes into your heart that you come into His kingdom. The
apostle John wrote, “In this the love of God was manifested
toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9).
That’s God’s gift to us.
