We are going to discuss about the most important information on WHY JESUS HAD TO COME TO EARTH. What was the purpose of the coming of Jesus to earth? As the title states, Jesus came to fulfill the first promise of God given to man.
Why Jesus Had To Come To Earth?
Being a Christian, you must know the answer to this very important question.
Everyone knows that Jesus came to save humanity from hell. Jesus came to shed his blood and give us eternal life.
You are absolutely right!
But there is so much of information on this point and we must know the details because we are God’s children and this information will actually empower you.
So we are going to dig a little bit deeper to see how we can cover this topic within a very short period of time.
I am going to give you 3 main reasons on why Jesus had to come to earth.
- REASON NUMBER 1: TO FULFILL THE FIRST PROMISE GIVEN BY GOD. THE VERY FIRST PROMISE OF DELIVERANCE TO MANKIND. THIS IS THE REDEMPTION OF EARTH and its DOMINION.
- REASON NUMBER 2: TO ESTABLISH THE NEW COVENENT OF GRACE. THIS IS THE REDEMPTION OF MANKIND.
- REASON NUMBER 3: TO BRING THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO EARTH. THIS IS THE REDEMPTION OF RELATIONSHIP.
Each of this reason will be an episode by itself.
So we are going to see reason 1, reason 2 and reason 3 in individual episodes because they are very important information and there is much to cover.
So in this Power Nugget, we are going to see the REASON NUMBER 1.
JESUS CAME TO EARTH IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE FIRST PROMISE OF GOD GIVEN TO MAN – A PROMISE OF DELIVERANCE BY YAHWEH.
This is the very first promise to mankind.
It is found in Genesis Chapter 3, verse 15:
[Gen 3:15 KJV] 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
I hear you say, Wait a minute, I thought that you were saying that its a promise to mankind, but here I see a judgement being pronounced on satan!
You are right! But the beautiful thing to note here is that the very judgement that is being pronounced on the devil is the promise of deliverance to mankind!
Let us go through the verse once again:
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman —
>I is Yahweh.
> thee refers to satan and the woman is Eve or womankind in general.
>and between thy seed and her seed –> thy seed refers to the seed of the devil and her seed refers to the seed of woman.
In general thy seed refers to the seed of the devil or his children including the climax of the anti-christ in the endtime and HER SEED refers to the children of God and Jesus Christ Himself who is the messiah who shall come.
The SEEDS!
Let us look at some Scripture that will clarify who the seeds are referring to…
Let us read John 8:44:
[Jhn 8:44 KJV] 44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Literally Jesus called that group of unbelieving audience as the seed of the devil!
This proves that the people who don’t belong to God are the children of the devil or his seed.
On the other hand, let us read Gal 3:29:
[Gal 3:29 KJV] 29 And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Here we are called as the seed of Abraham or literally the seed of the woman who belong to God’s side.
There are only 2 sides in this battle – Satan’s side and God’s side.
Or
Satan’s seed and Woman’s seed.
Now let us read Genesis 3:15 again and it will make more sense to us:
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;”
Finally, here comes the promise of deliverance – the promise of hope for humanity:
“it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” –> it refers to the seed of the woman or Jesus Christ who will bruise the head of satan and satan who will bruise the heel of Jesus. Note that it is not the seed of satan that shall bruise the heel of Jesus but satan himself.
Also how can we be sure that the seed here is talking about Jesus in particular. Do we have any verse that refers to Jesus as a seed? Yes let us read Gal 3:16
[Gal 3:16 KJV] 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
The seed in singular refers to Jesus Christ.
The Promise Of Deliverance To Mankind!
Next, note the word bruise which is used here.
In Hebrew it is the word shuwph (shuf) which means to bruise or crush in this context.
This is the judgement on satan where Yahweh said that Jesus would bruise the head of satan which is also the promise of deliverance to mankind that satan will be defeated and we will rise to power again!
The authority or dominion that was lost by Adam would be restored by Jesus back into the hands of mankind!
What a wonderful God we have!
We understood the meaning of Gen 3:15 which stands as the judgement on satan but also the promise of deliverance for humanity.
THREE POINTS TO REMEMBER!
Now, I will give you 3 points related to this particular verse.
POINT 1: THE PROMISE GIVEN BY GOD IN GEN 3:15 IS REVEALED & FULFILLED IN JOHN 3:16
In other words, John 3:16 is the fulfilment of Gen 3:15. See how wonderfully the Holy Spirit has compiled and ordered the bible that it is placed in sequence 3:15 and 3:16 but in 2 different books across the 2 testaments! How awesome!
John 3:16 is the most famous verse among Christian children. Every Sunday school makes sure that they teach this verse:
[Jhn 3:16 KJV] 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This was promised in Gen 3:15 and fulfilled by God as per his word.
POINT 2: THE DEVIL USED EVE TO GET TO ADAM. SATAN USED WOMAN AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE FALL OF MANKIND. GOD PROMISED THAT HE WILL USE WOMAN ITSELF AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE RISE OF MANKIND!!
Wow! Did you see that?
Isn’t our God so great?
Look at the payback! The same medium or vessel or instrument that satan had used, would be the same medium, vessel or instrument that God would use to UNDO what was done!
Halleluiah!
POINT 3: THE BRUISING OF THE HEAD OF SERPENT HAPPENS IN PHASES. SATAN LOST THE AUTHORITY ON EARTH BUT HE STILL EXERCISES HIS POWER HERE BECAUSE GOD HAS ALLOWED IT. HE IS ON BORROWED TIME!
LET ME EXPLAIN THIS IN MORE DETAIL:
PHASE 1 IS DONE – This is the CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS THAT ALREADY TOOK PLACE 2000 YEARS BACK AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST BLOW TO THE DEVIL.
PHASE 2 IS THE 1000 YEARS OF LOCKDOWN FOR SATAN IN HELL DURING THE MILLENIUM WHICH IS A FUTURE EVENT.
PHASE 3 IS THE FINAL BLOW WHICH WILL COME AFTER THE 1000 YEARS OR THE MILLENIUM, WHERE SATAN WILL BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOR ETERNITY.
We don’t have the time to get into each of this phase as part of this Power Nugget. But we will cover them in detail in future Power Nuggets!
REVIEW
Let us review what we have seen in this Power Nugget:
THERE ARE 3 MAJOR REASONS WHY JESUS CAME TO PLANET EARTH:
- REASON NUMBER 1: TO FULFILL THE FIRST PROMISE GIVEN BY GOD TO MANKIND. REDEMPTION OF EARTH and its DOMINION.
- REASON NUMBER 2: TO ESTABLISH THE NEW COVENENT OF GRACE. REDEMPTION OF MANKIND.
- REASON NUMBER 3: TO BRING THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO EARTH. REDEMPTION OF RELATIONSHIP.
IN THIS POWER NUGGET WE SAW THE FIRST REASON IN DETAIL FOLLOWED BY 3 SPECIFIC POINTS:
POINT 1: THE PROMISE GIVEN BY GOD IN GEN 3:15 IS REVEALED & FULFILLED IN JOHN 3:16
POINT 2: THE DEVIL USED EVE TO GET TO ADAM. SATAN USED WOMAN AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE FALL OF MANKIND. GOD PROMISED THAT HE WILL USE WOMAN ITSELF AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE RISE OF MANKIND!!
POINT 3: THE BRUISING OF THE HEAD OF SERPENT HAPPENS IN 3 PHASES WHERE FINALLY HE IS CRUSHED AND THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOR ETERNITY.
NOW ITS TIME FOR THE EMPOWERMENT!
POINT 1: THE PROMISE GIVEN BY GOD IN GEN 3:15 IS REVEALED & FULFILLED IN JOHN 3:16 – This proves to you that our God is a promise fulfilling God and will not back off even at the cost of his Son’s life! That is how sure you can be on his promises! Never doubt his promises. He did not spare his own son! A God of his WORD. You can rely on his word!
POINT 2: SATAN USED WOMAN AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE FALL OF MANKIND. GOD USED WOMAN ITSELF AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE RISE OF MANKIND!! – This should empower you by making you confident that God can and will use you even if you have failed in the past! Even if the devil has used you for wrong purposes, God will clean you and use you for his own purpose! There is no failure with God! You cannot fail with God on your side!
POINT 3: THE BRUISING OF THE HEAD OF SERPENT HAPPENS IN 3 PHASES. PHASE 1 IS THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS WHICH IS THE BIGGEST BLOW TO SATAN!! – This should empower you with the certainty and knowledge that the devil is a conquered foe already and he was defeated at the cross by Jesus!
This is what is mentioned to us in:
[Col 2:15 KJV] 15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
WHAT IS THE IT HERE? LET US READ THE PREVIOUS VERSE:
[Col 2:14 KJV] 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
SO JESUS HAS DEFEATED EVERTHING THAT WAS CONTRARY TO US INCLUDING ALL PRINCIPALITIES WHICH OBVIOUSLY INCLUDES SATAN AS WELL!
SO JESUS CHANGED EVERYTHING AROUND FOR US AT THE CROSS! THIS WAS THE BIGGEST BLOW TO THE DEVIL!
ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US.
BE CONFIDENT OF HIS LOVE AND GRACE FOR YOU.
I hope that this Power Nugget has blessed you and we will meet again on the next POWER NUGGET!
God Bless You.
