The plainest and simplest answer to the question ‘Why did Jesus come to us?’ is found in one word ‘Love’. It is expressed in one of the most famous sentences in the whole of the world’s literature: ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life’ (John 3:16). In the Orthodox Divine Liturgy, when we remember the loving sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God is described as ‘the lover of mankind’.
