Today we will learn the seven reasons why Jesus left heaven to come to this earth. The seven reasons why Jesus left heaven and came to this earth are to give us life, division, light, judgment, rest, fire, and finally to seek and to save that which was lost. Praise the Lord Jesus now while you read how Jesus became poor so we could become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.
Jesus left the glory of heaven and came down to a barn in Bethlehem. Jesus left the presence of angels to come down to the presence of sinners. Jesus left the continuous praises of all the host of heaven and came down to this earth to hear the curses of men. Jesus left all the beauty of heaven to come down to all of the ugliness of this world and die for sinners on a wretched cross.
Why would Jesus leave the glory of heaven and come down to this wicked world? First, pictured above we learn that Jesus came to this earth to give sinners abundant life. Jesus said at John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 1 John 5:11 says And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Right now say thank you Lord Jesus for leaving heaven to come to earth and give me abundant life.
Second, Jesus came to this earth to cause division. Jesus said at Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, Nay, but rather division. Jesus came to inaugurate a warfare against the forces of evil. 2 Corinthians 10:3 says For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Jesus said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Jesus has already defeated the devil at the cross of Calvary. The devil just tries to make people think there is a game to play and runs out on the field wearing his playing gear. Just tell the devil to look at the scoreboard saying game over devil you've lost. There is no game to play. My Lord Jesus defeated you forever by the blood of Jesus shed at the cross of Calvary. Tell the devil Hebrews 2:14 that says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (the Lord Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death (on the cross of Calvary) He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.
Third, pictured above we see that Jesus came to this earth to bring light. Jesus said at John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. Jesus proclaimed at John 8:12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
How comforting to know that when we get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose again, we walk in the light overcoming the depressing darkness of this world. Every day say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and covered by the blood of Jesus. Tell the devil that the blood of Jesus has overcome and defeated you devil, evil must pass over me, and the blood of Jesus has cleansed me of all my sins.

Every day say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and covered by the blood of Jesus. Tell the devil that the blood of Jesus has overcome and defeated you devil, evil must pass over me, and the blood of Jesus has cleansed me of all my sins.
Daily ask Jesus to send multitudes of angels to bind the devil wherever you go, sending the devil to the pit of hell where the devil can not rise up again according to Psalm 140:9. As for the head of those that compass me about (the devil), let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits (of hell), that they rise not up again.
Then in Jesus name ask the angels to daily send and cover your home, job, car, and anywhere you travel with the blood of Jesus. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Fourth, we learn that Jesus came to this earth to bring judgment. Jesus said at John 9:39 For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. Psalm 138:6 says Though the Lord be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly; but the proud He knoweth afar off. Stay humble and like John the Baptist say John 3:30. He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease. Paul said at 1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Fifth, Jesus came to this earth to give sinners rest. Jesus said at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Why not come to Jesus now today and receive rest? Leave your sins because Proverbs 13:15 says Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. Remember that Jesus said His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Jesus promised at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Sixth, Jesus came to this earth to send fire. Jesus said at Luke 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? How comforting to know that one day soon Jesus will cast the devil into the lake of fire where the devil will be tormented day and night for ever and ever according to Revelation 20:10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Seventh, the most important reason that Jesus came to this earth was to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10 says For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Above is one of Brother Bob's favorite pictures showing Jesus (the great shepherd) coming to this earth seeking to save any lost sheep.
Luke 15:4 describes the blessed picture above saying What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
The main reason Jesus came to this earth was to find you my precious sinner friend and save you. Luke 15 tells us why Jesus left heaven to come to this earth. Jesus came to this earth seeking for lost sinners where a woman seeks for a lost coin, where a shepherd seeks for a lost sheep, and where a father seeks for a lost son.
Notice the happy jingle pictured above at Isaiah 1:18. Come (invitation) now (specification), and let us reason together (conversation), saith the Lord (declaration): though your sins be as scarlet (realization), they shall be as white as snow (purification); though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (transformation).
I had to add this classic gem from one of my favorite preachers J. Harold Smith. Don't be a tweedle dee, tweedle dum, pussy footing, compromising, white washing, backscratching, ear tickling, soft soaping, tiptoeing through the tulips. lovey dovey, feel good type of preacher, failing to tell people to get saved and stop sinning.
