The most important question you will ever answer for yourself is: “Who is Jesus?” The question swirled on the streets of Galilee and Jerusalem. In the marketplace, in neighborhoods, and out in the fields, people were talking about Jesus. Who is this man, and why has he come? After 2,000 years, the questions are still being asked.

Main Points:

1. Once we understand who Jesus is, we begin to understand why He came.

2. He didn’t come to be a great humanitarian, teacher, rabbi, philosopher, miracle worker, or revolutionary. He didn’t come to start an earthly kingdom or to overthrow the rule of the Roman Empire.

3. Jesus came to save sinners. This is good news for you and me because we are sinners in need of a savior.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

1 Timothy 1:15 - “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…”
