WHY HE CAME

God is love. He proved His love for us, by sending Jesus into our world-fully human and fully God. "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16). Jesus did not come just to show us what God is like and live a perfect life. He came to remove the barrier between us and God.

God's character is like a coin with two sides: justice and love. His justice rightly codemns us, for sin must be punished. His love makes him long for us to become His friends again. On the cross, his justice and His love were perfectly satisfied. Sin had to be punished, so God in His love sent His son, Jesus Christ, to diein our place, bearing the death penalty our sins deserved. That is why He cried from the cross,


MY GOD, MY GOD
WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?

The full punishment for our sin was taken by Jesus.
As a man once put it, "He carried the can for everybody.
" Jesus suffered "The agony of being cut off from His father for us."
Just before He died, Jesus said,

IT IS FINISHED!


This was not a cry of defeat, " I've had it! " No it was a cry of victory, " I've done it! The debt of man's sin is paid. " The way back to God is now open.


His work of saving you from hell and eternal destruction is finished. The barrier of sin has been blasted away. Jesus died for us, His body was put in the tomb and a great stone pushed across the entrance. But he rose from the grave - He is ALIVE. He won the victory over sin and death.

Do you want to live an easy-going, "do as you like" life? Do you want to remain dissatisfied and only know the empty, passing pleasures of the world? If so, Then don't go on to the next page. Carry on just as you are; don't even bother about Christ.

But remember this: one day you will realize too late that you have missed the best in life, wasted your life and ruined your soul. To live without Christ is to die without Him. To die without Him is to spend eternity without Him. But if you want a life that satifies, that has purpose and meaning, a life that demands the very best in you and, above all, a life that is pleasing to God? Then this is what I want you to do, go on to the next page, and read everything very carefully.
