I have been pondering a question in my head that was proposed to me in a DVD called, "The Truth Project." In the first lesson they ask everyone the question, "Why did Jesus come into the World?"
My first thought was he came into the world to redeem the elect. However, in the DVD the answer was stated by Jesus himself:
37Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice." 38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"
It appears to have more implications than what it seems on the surface. Would Jesus' statement above be the main reason he came into the world, or would this be one of the many reasons. Would this be his main objective in mind and by this the other proceed from it?
