Why on Earth?

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Psalm 19:1

Alpha Centauri

Andromeda Galaxy - 2 million Light years away.

3When I consider your heavens,the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars,which you have set in place, 4what is man that you are mindful of him,the son of man that you care for him?

Psalm 8:3-4

Why on Earth?

1 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn’t make. 4 Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone.

John 1:1-4

14 So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.

John 1:14

15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. 16 Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—kings, kingdoms, rulers,

Colossians 1:15-16

Colossians 1:16-17

Philippians 2:5-8

5 Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. 7 He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. 8 And he humbled himself even further by dying a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

1 John 4:9-10

Jesus – came because of Love.

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always,

1 John 4:9-10

18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,
