This is the third message in our Advent series for 2018. This year we are allowing Jesus to tell us why he came. Then we are taking what he tells us and connecting it back to the tapestry of the Old Testament that provides the backdrop for his arrival and ministry.

In this teaching, we look at John 18:37, where Jesus declares, "...I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world." Then we consider the Davidic Covenant and the careers and failures of Israel's kings. Finally, we see how Jesus was born as the better David, as the true head crushing hero we have been waiting for. He's the one who can get us back to the garden.
