Why Did Christ Come? — Part Two

 (ID: 1581)

Jesus Christ is at the center of the largest and most influential organized religion in Western civilization. But was His mission simply to start a new religion fraught with political power? Alistair Begg explores this question as he looks to John’s Gospel, which reminds us that Jesus did not come of His own will. Instead, He was sent to bring us knowledge of God and to turn us from darkness to light.


38For cI have come down from heaven, not to do dmy own will but dthe will of him ewho sent me.
