Why Jesus Came

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."-Isaiah 61:1-3

Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." -John 10:10

Come, every soul by sin oppressed, 

there's mercy with the Lord; 

and he will surely give you rest, 

by trusting in his Word. 

Only trust him, only trust him, 

only trust him now. 

He will save you, he will save you, 

he will save you now. 

For Jesus shed his precious blood 

rich blessings to bestow; 

plunge now into the crimson flood 

that washes bright as snow. 

Yes, Jesus is the truth the way 

that leads you into rest; 

believe in him without delay, 

and you are fully blest. 

Come then and join this holy band, 

and on to glory go, 

to dwell in that celestial land 

where joys immortal flow.
