Sermon Cloud

"Why did Jesus come?" It's an important question, and many times Jesus told us why. Through December we have been looking at some of the statements Jesus made about his mission. Last Sunday (28st December) we thought about some more of Jesus' words we don't normally associate with Christmas. In John 12:27, while speaking to the crowds, Jesus said: ...for this purpose I have come to this hour... What was "this hour"? Of course, Jesus was referring to his coming death. In this sermon we find the purpose of his death in three words: judgement, triumph and attraction.
