Why Jesus Came To Our Rescue
ADVENTURE
At that time you were apart from Christ. You were foreigners and did not belong to God's chosen
people.
ADVENTURE
You had no part in the covenants, which were based on God's promises to his people, and you lived in
this world without hope and without God.
ADVENTURE
But now, in union with Christ Jesus you, who used to be far away, have been brought near by the
blood of Christ. For Christ himself has brought us peace by
making Jews and Gentiles one people.
ADVENTURE
With his own body he broke down the wall that separated them and kept them enemies . . . in this
way making peace. (Ephesians 2:12-15 – The Message)

How Jesus Came To Our Rescue
ADVENTURE
Our rescue was initiated by God
ADVENTURE
“Healthy people don’t need a doctor, but sick people do.
I didn’t come to invite good people to be my followers.
I came to invite sinners.” (Jesus - Mark 2:17 – Contemporary English Version)
ADVENTURE
“The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them.”
(Jesus - Luke 19:10 – New Century Version)
ADVENTURE
Our rescue was motivated by love
ADVENTURE
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only Son, so that whoever believes in, trusts in, clings to, and relies
on Him
ADVENTURE
shall not perish, come to destruction or be lost, but have everlasting life. For God did not send the Son
into the world in order to judge, to reject or to condemn the world,
ADVENTURE
but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
(John 3:16-17 – The Amplified Bible)
ADVENTURE
God shows and clearly proves His own love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ
the Messiah died for us. (Romans 5:8 – The Amplified Bible)
ADVENTURE
Our rescue was activated on the cross
ADVENTURE
At one time you were far away from God. Now you have been brought close to Him. Christ did this for
you when He gave His blood on the cross. (Ephesians 2:13 – NLV)
ADVENTURE
The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many
people. (Mark 10:45 – Contemporary English Version)
ADVENTURE
Our rescue culminated in bringing us home
ADVENTURE
Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you
safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. (1 Peter 3:18 –
New Living Translation)
ADVENTURE
When Jesus Came To Our Rescue

his children. (Galatians 4:4-5 – God’s Word Translation)
