He left His home in heaven to save us!
Jesus is God’s Son. He has always lived in heaven with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Life with God the Father and the Holy Spirit was wonderful. They had the closest, most wonderful love together. Jesus was full of the bright, shininess of the glory of God. Jesus knew all the riches of heaven, but He left heaven to come to earth to save His people. He was born a baby boy. He was still God, just like before. But now He was a human, too. Life as a human wasn’t anything like life in heaven. All around Him were people who disobeyed God. Jesus still had the love of God the Father and the Holy Spirit, but it was not the same wonderful closeness as in heaven.
Jesus left behind His bright shininess of the glory of God. He left behind the riches of heaven. Why did Jesus leave behind all the wonderful things of heaven and come to earth? Because God loved His people and wanted to save them. And also, to show just how wonderful God is. Only through Jesus’ suffering and dying on the cross could God’s people be saved from their sins and know special closeness with God forever. Jesus knew this and He wanted to save God’s people. He wanted to show how wonderful God is. He wanted so much that He even left His home in heaven to do it!
Concept 1 Scripture Verse: John 6:38
“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but. to do the will of him who sent me.”
Tie-in: Jesus left His wonderful home in heaven to live on earth. Why? To carry out God’s amazing plan. What’s that plan? To save His sinful people from their sins so they could know Him and enjoy Him forever! What an amazing plan! What a wonderful God!
