What are you doing here?

With the celebration of Jesus coming already upon us, I thought it would be good to ask him "Why have you come?"

I have not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. (Matt 5:17)
I have not come to bring peace tot he earth. (Matt 10:34)
I have not come to be served. (Matt 10:28)
I have not come to judge the world. (John 12:47)
I have not come to call the righteous. (Matt 9:13)

I came so that my sheep may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10)
I came to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)
I came to be a light for those in darkness. (John 12:46)
I came to save the world. (John 12:47)
I came for judgment, that the blind will see and those who see will be blind. (John 9:39)
I came to do God’s will, bringing eternal life to those who look to me. (John 6:38)
I came to preach. (Mark 1:38)
I came to bring a sword and fire, turning families against one another. (Matt 10:34, Luke 12:49)
I came to fulfill the Law and Prophets. (Matt 5:17)
I came to serve. (Matt 20:28)
I came for THE hour. (John 12:47)
I came to ransom my life for yours. (Matt 20:28)
I came to be king. (John 18:37)


I hope I didn't miss any.
