Why did Jesus come to Earth from the Heavens?

 


Rejoice as he has resin!
   Easter, A time to celebrate our salvation. God Has risen as the everlasting stand of time that Jesus died for us and his resurrection as proof, he was God and not just a prophet. As some of you may know the bible is made up of many books written by several authors over a vast period. I was reading the book of Job, I’ve never read it before, I’ve made it about a quarter way through and read one of the passages Chapter 9 Verse 33. In Jobs Plea he says this. 
 If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us                    together.

This encouraged me to dig into this verse a little bit. If you do not know about Job, he was a faithful servant of God before Christ of Course. God gave the devil dominion over him telling the devil he is a faithful servant, and he will not turn. The Devil took everything from him, you may say he did evil deeds against Job! but he never rebuked God. The book was written way before the coming of Christ, however I believe this is like a prophecy in its own why God came to Earth and setup Jesus as our mediator for our sins. This is my theory and my belief why God came to Earth, However I’m no Biblical Scholar but far from it, just want to get it out there for you.

The New Testament Timothy writes in Chapter 2:5-6. "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all …" Job, centuries before the birth of the Messiah, knew he was in need of a Savior, a Mediator; and he longed for Jesus.

The authorship and exact date of the Book of Job are not definitively known. Scholars generally agree that it was written between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE. Theories on the author range from a Jewish sage to a prophet, but there is no consensus. Some even speculate that Moses could have been the author, but this remains a hypothesis without concrete evidence. The Book of Job is part of the Ketuvim, or "Writings," section of the Hebrew Bible and addresses the theme of theodicy, which is the question of why a good God permits the manifestation of evil.
