Day 12 - That's why He came
That's why He came
For every broken heart in need of mending
For every lonely child who needs befriending
For every time the innocent will every need defending
That's why He came
To do the perfect will of God, His Father
To face His death just like a lamb to slaughter
So He could pour out life, like living water
That's why He came
That's why He came
For all the lost and lonely
That's why He came
For all the questions only love explains
And so that when we need Him
We can call upon His name
To bring His light into darkness
And His healing to our pain
To bring us hope when it seems hopeless
That's why Jesus came
That's why Jesus came. For the lost, the broken, the lonely, the fatherless, the motherless, the helpless, the sick, the poor, the broken hearted, the loveless, the captive, the hurt, the wounded, the lame, the hungry, the impoverished, the dying; us.
He did not choose the easy way out. He chose the hardest way out; death on the cross. The Bible tells us that Jesus could have summoned legions of angels to His aid when He was arrested (Matt 26:53). But He did not.
He chose death, for our sakes. He chose the hardest way not the easy way. That's why He came; to die for us so that we may no longer have to spend eternity in hell.
That's why He came; what should we do?
