Jesus Came Into the World!

Only Sinners Qualify ~ 1Timothy 1:15 by George Dunn

Let’s look at 1 Timothy 1:15. It says, “This is a Faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief.”

Try to imagine for a moment, what it must have been like for Jesus, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, ADORNED IN MAJESTY, RICHES, AND POWER to leave His Heavenly home and come into this DERANGED, FALLEN, AND SAVAGE world. Heaven is where it is holy, clean, light, perfect, peaceful, and where He sits upon His throne, sovereign over all of creation. There the Angels do His will and worship Him. Yet still, He left it willingly to come down into our fallen and depraved world, to be born among beasts in a feeding trough, to be hated from birth, to live among the dregs of humanity, with the unholy, the darkness, the turmoil, and the contentions of men.
