Why did Jesus Christ come? What was His purpose? What was His mission? Why did He die on the cross and for who? Is His work finished? Surely there are many opinions, what are yours? Please use the Bible to support your views.

Missed this thread :( Ok but sure. Here are some things I can think of. To be a Savior and save us. Matthew 1:21 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” And to fulfil the law and not destroy what Prophets spoke of Matthew 5:17 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. He came not to bring peace but to separate us (goats and sheep) Matthew 10:34-35 34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law Came to call sinners to repentance Luke 5:32 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Came to be a light to us John 12:46 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. To find His lost sheep Luke 19:10 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” And to give us life John 10:10 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. To serve us while giving up His life for us in the process Mark 10:45 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Came to do the will of the Father John 6:38 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

He came to die for our sins. He was pretty explicit about this.

Please use the Bible to support your views. Matthew 15:24 He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
