For over two thousand years, we have said and written many things about Jesus Christ. Many theologians have dedicated their lives in trying to find an understanding of the purpose of death and resurrection of the Son of Man. Even today, we write volumes of books in an attempt to get a deeper understanding of the redemptive works of the Messiah. Many scholars have been in a quest to find out more about the man from a remote village of Nazareth who became the savior of the whole world.

His authority, works and deeds are still a great puzzle. Even the skeptics like Lee Strobel a Yale trained Journalist and lawyer accepted Christ After his investigation where he found out that Christ really was the son of God. Why did He come on earth? Why did He die? What qualified him to be the Savior?. These are the questions that many people ask themselves.

It should be noted that the fall of led to an estranged relationship with God and hence Christ had to come to die and redeem us and reconcile us with God. Prophet Isaiah prophesied his birth almost seven hundred years before his birth. Later on, Jesus Christ was born through Virgin Mary. He was born to save the world and not only did Jesus come to seek and to save lost sinners, no man under any other character could partake of salvation- and that is still true.

[1] Salvation was Jesus' purpose of coming to the world. He came to show us the way to God our father, of which there is not any other way except through Christ Jesus. Messiah came under the consequences of those inequities with which He bore so that the flock which he suffered for might escape unhurt and shows vicious action.

[2] During his ministry Jesus healed and did many miracles that over powered the laws of nature. He preached about the kingdom of God. He said that the way to the Father was only through being born again. Jesus had come to fulfill the sole purpose that his father had send him to do on earth to save humankind. It is because of His infinitive goodness and Justice God sent his only begotten son to the cross to bear the full penalty of our sin.

[3] .The cost of salvation was not cheap. Jesus had to shed blood on the cross at Calvary, so that man may have life and have it more abundantly. The messiah suffered and faced many tribulations in the hands of the Roman soldiers. This is because God hated sin that man had committed and that is why Jesus had to pay the price of atonement. Therefore, through His death, man became sinless and had all his inequities
