Jesus Is Lord:
Why He Came for You
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
1 Timothy 1:15 (NIrV)
Why would a king leave his palace to live among people who mostly ignore him? Sounds like a bad trade, right? And yet… that’s exactly what Jesus did.
He didn’t come to earth because we had it all together. He came because we didn’t. He came for the broken, the lost, the messy—and yep, that includes all of us on Mondays before coffee.
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” — 1 Timothy 1:15 (NIrV)
Jesus is Lord, but not the kind who demands we come to Him perfect. He came to us as we are, not as we wish we were. That’s the kind of love that changes everything. He lived a perfect life, died to take our place, and rose again so we could be with Him forever. Not because we earned it—but because He wanted us.
So next time you feel unworthy, remember: Jesus didn’t come for the perfect. He came for you.
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for loving me enough to come into my world. Remind me today that You are Lord, and that I matter deeply to You. Help me follow You with a thankful heart.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
