What was the message of Christ? What was the main reason, other than dying for us, that He came to earth, or WAS there another reason? :?

Christ has three offices, prophet, priest, and king.

To live a perfect life, fulfilling the law, thus fulfilling the requirement of a spotless lamb and be the atoning sacrifice for us- priest

To reveal the need for a savior, to teach His fathers word- prophet

To claim His rightful throne- king

Very nice link to elaborate on what I believe

At the bottom of the page, you will find scriptural references These corrolate to the references in the confession.

I would paste them, but it would truly be huge.
