WHY DID JESUS COME?

Yahweh or Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.” John 14:15,21,22,23,24. Jesus promises that if we keep His commandments He will send His Holy Spirit to live in us.
Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock [and] one shepherd. "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:11,16,27.
It was unfortunate that the Sanhedrin, who persecuted Jesus before Pontius Pilate, did not realize or know why Jesus came to earth. They felt threatened by some of the teachings of Jesus. What did Jesus teach?  Nothing new for the Jews. The Jews have been observing God’s commandments since the time of Noah and Abraham, maybe longer. So, nothing new for the faithful Jews. But for the PAGANS, yes. 
The commandments of God are new for the pagans, especially observing the Sabbath. The Jews have been observing the Sabbaths for thousands of years. So, the Sanhedrin should not feel threatened by the teachings of Jesus. Why? Because Jesus came to earth to convert the pagans, and not to convert the Jews. The Jews have been worshipping YHWH for ages. They are familiar with the commandments of God. If the Sanhedrin knew that Jesus came to earth to convert the pagans, the Gentiles, they would leave Jesus alone. They would not have persecuted Jesus. That was a fatal mistake that should have never occurred! I believe it was a misunderstanding on the part of the Sanhedrin that resulted in His crucifixion. Were the Gentiles grateful and appreciative of what Jesus had done for them? No, they humiliated Him and abolished all of His commandments except on tithing. Jesus' investments in the Pagans, I believe, are mostly wasted, if not totally wasted.
Jesus said He came not only for His sheep, but also for "other sheep I have which are not of this fold”, them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock [and] one shepherd.”
The idea that Jesus came to earth to redeem our sins is nonsense! It is preposterous and ridiculous. Jesus said, "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:23-24. Jesus wants us to redeem our own sins. In the Lord's prayer, Jesus taught us to pray to our Father in heaven and ask Him to forgive our sins. If He wants to redeem the sins of the world, He could have redeemed the sins of the billion of  people whom He drowned to death during Noah’s time? Why not?
Finally, I want to leave this text for everyone to think about for the night.
"Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Do we know what the will of Yahweh is? Do we know what the will of Jesus is? Are we sure? We can only bet one time. If we are wrong, that’s it. No more gambling forever.
Finally, why does Jesus come back again? Jesus comes back again to take His children to live with Him on the new earth. Jesus said in John 14:3, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also. Second, Jesus comes to punish those who do not love Him, like what happened during the big flood. The difference is that God will send down very hot fire from heaven to destroy the bodies of those who do not love Him and obey Him. After that, the souls of those who have died will be burned again, and there will be heard weeping and gnashing of teeth for a long time in hell. God does not care about humans who are disobedient to Him. Look at the time of Noah. Millions or billions of humans and animals drowned. Does he feel deeply sorry for them? NO!
