For this Easter edition, I wanted my editorial to ponder the question: Why did Jesus come into our world?
However, this question is answered most eloquently in the words of a song penned by a past Salvation Army General, John Gowans …
We wonder why Christ came into the world
And let men hurt him so;
We wonder why the Christ should have to die,
Does anybody know?
We wonder why! We wonder why!
The Son of God as many came down,
What does this signify?
He came to give us life in all its fullness,
He came to make the blind to see,
He came to banish death and doubt and darkness,
He came to set his people free.
He liberating love imparted,
He taught men once again to smile;
He came to bind the broken hearted,
And God and man to reconcile.
He came to give us life in all its fullness,
He came to make the blind to see,
He came to banish death and doubt and darkness.
He came to set his people free!
