Three Major Reasons Why Jesus Came To The Earth. || Apostle Joshua Selman
Apostle Joshua Selman: Three major reasons why Jesus came to the Earth.
- To become a correction to our understanding about God.
Until Jesus came, we had to use the lens of Prophets and Priests to learn God and the Bible tells us clearly that we see in part. Many of them as sincere as they were, there was a mix of their local spiritual practices. Some of them, it was a a mix of divination. So, they gave a picture of God that was not accurate.
If you learn God only from the lens of the prophets and the priest and the Old Testament, you will find a lot of conflicting things about God. For instance, you will read statements like a lying spirit came from the Lord. That is not consistent with God’s character but it represents the limitation of those who captured God and revealed to their world.
Now, we commend them for how far they went but Jesus came as a reference, he came as a marking script that everything the Prophets told us God was, we have to compare it with the person “Jesus” and if it is inconsistent with the character of Jesus as revealed in his earth walk, we have a right to probe what the Prophet said regardless which one.
When you see Jesus, you are able to correct the mistakes that came from the perception of Prophets, that they themselves were students and they were learning, they were limited in many regards, they didn’t have the abundance of the indwelling presence of the spirit like we do, so they were limited.
- To bring reconciliation to reconnect us back to God through his substitutionary sacrifice.
- To become that pattern man to show us the pattern.
Paul calls it the hope of our calling that through that pattern man, we will rise experientially to a point where he call “sonship”. It is called the hope of our calling. That when God saved us, he had a desire and a burden in his heart that will not just be believers who are saved but that will graduate and transit till we step into the reality of sonship in experience.
