Over 700 years before Christ, the prophet Isaiah wrote, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14).
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6).
Psalm 8:5 says, “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” This great Messianic prophecy is explained in Hebrews 2:9.
Jesus Himself told us why He came. Our Lord said in Luke 19:10, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
1. CHRIST CAME TO DIE AS OUR SUBSTITUTE. 1 John 2:2; 1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24.
2. CHRIST WAS MADE A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; for the time to be our substitute. Philippians 2:8; Hebrews 1:4-5; Heb. 1:8; John 1:3.
3. CHRIST WAS CROWNED WITH GLORY & HONOR. “Worship Him.” Only God is to be worshipped. Jesus is to be worshipped because Jesus is God. Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 4:12; Rev. 5:1-14.
