Why did Jesus came to earth ?

   Why did Jesus come to earth? - A question the pastor challenged the congregation this morning. Eventually he answered "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

   Come to think of it and thinking like a child for a moment (who would ask the Why’s indefinitely) I pondered and ask myself- why? Why come to 'seek and save' the lost? Why did, in Genesis, God instead annihilated Adam & Eve and just create a new Adam and Eve, version 2 - so there will no longer a seeking and saving?

   My mind taught about the covenant, the promise God made, or the Spirit of God he breathe in the clay and made soil into a living being ? It must be important.

   Eventually my thoughts ended up in the real intent of it all: " Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." Isa_43:7

   We are made for God's glory, to give the glory to God, from creation, to salvation, to glorification.

   I would think that even the fall, the fulfillment of God’s promises, the coming of Christ “to seek and save that which was lost”, the entire salvation history, the exaltation of Christ even; all ends up with the purpose to glorify God.

2Co4:15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

Php2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

   And sadly those who ended up in the side of justice and not grace all faults in not giving glory to God.

Rev16:9...They did not repent and give him glory.

   Or the damning passage in Romans against idolaters and immorality who degraded God’s glory by making the uncreated creator of everything down into a created thing or idea.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.  Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.  (Rom1:21-23)

If there was such a thing an unpardonable sin, this is it.

   Why did Jesus come to earth? To save us, the lost, so that in turn we could fulfill our purpose of being from the very beginning (which was lost) -> to give God the glory in everything that He has done.
