Mark 1:38-39
Jesus came to Preach
38 Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
Jesus comes to us and He was a diverse man, to say the least... He was divine...He could walk on water...He could calm the storms and the wind...He was a teacher...He came to help us learn about different things that He alone knew...He was a physician...He heals, and He healed so many when He was on earth...Let us not forget, He was resurrected and still heals today...Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed (John 20:29)...
But He tells us why He came...He came so that He could preach in the villages...He came to earth to testify to the Truth...Jesus came to earth to die on the cross to atone for our sins...Two thousand years ago a man preached for three years and His message still resonates today...He LOVED us then and He loves us now...God brought Jesus to us to learn and to teach us goodness...If remember the greatest commandments as told by Jesus in Mark 12:29-31...The greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, and with all your strength...The second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself...There are no greater commandments than these two...
So when we ask ourselves why did Jesus come, He tells us...To preach to us...Let us listen and learn...
