Merry Christmas

John 18, paraphrase, Pilate is having a conversation with Jesus, and asks Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus looked at Pilate and said, “The royal power of my kingdom realm is not from this realm.” Then Pilate said, “so You are a king?” Jesus said, “I AM, I was born a King, and THIS IS WHY I HAVE COME INTO THIS REALM.” Here’s just a few other reasons mentioned in the scriptures of why Jesus came to earth: Matthew 5, I came to fulfill the Law and Prophets Matthew 10, I came to bring a sword, (to set apart from the world for loyalty) Luke 4, I came to preach the gospel of the Kingdom Luke 12, I came to set fire on the earth, ( a holy reverence) John10, I came that you may have abundant life 1 Timothy 1, He came to save sinners 1 John 3, He came to destroy the works of the devil
