耶稣来到这地上的理由是什么？
耶稣，作为神的儿子，本有神的形像，是与神同等的一位，他是 神荣耀所发的光辉，是 神本体的真像，完全可以不来到这个罪恶的世界，也完全可以不用经历因世人一切的罪而带给他的痛苦。他为什么要来到这个地上呢？耶稣降临在这个地上的理由是什么呢？首先，他来到这地上的理由是为了拯救处在罪恶中痛苦的灵魂，将他们从罪的大海中拯救出来，为了赐他们永生。因为这个世界就像一片罪恶的汪洋大海，所有的人在这片大海中的命运都是永远的沉沦，永远的灭亡，没有人能靠着自己的力量或能力能将自己或者别人从这罪恶的海洋中拯救出来。约翰福音 3:16 “ 神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。神因着爱将他的独生子耶稣赐给了世人，目的是要叫世人因信耶稣得着永远的生命，不至灭亡。其次，耶稣降临在这地上是为了让所有信他的人都可以带着进入天国的盼望生活。所有人类内心深处其实都有对永恒的渴望，换句话说其实就是对天国的盼望，一个充满爱、喜乐、自由与平安的国度，因为那是人类灵魂的家乡。关键问题是在人这里没有可以进入天国的道路，没有可以进入永恒的方法，进入天国的路在哪里呢？约翰福音 14:6 耶稣说：“我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉着我，没有人能到父那里去。耶稣降临在这个地上就是作为通向永恒通向天国的道路而来到这地上，唯有藉着他我们可以进入天国，可以来到神的面前。
