What does the Bible say about Jesus' purpose in coming?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states Jesus came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).

The purpose of Jesus' coming is explicitly stated in Mark 10:45, where it is written, 'For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' This reveals His mission not merely as a teacher or miracle worker but as the humble servant who gives Himself for the redemption of His people. Jesus came to fulfill the divine plan of salvation, which required Him to bear the sins of many, offering Himself as the atoning sacrifice for those who were chosen by God before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). Through His life, death, and resurrection, He exemplified true servanthood and demonstrated the depth of God's grace towards sinners.
