The main purpose for Jesus’ life on Earth was to open a way for us to God the Father.
This purpose of Jesus’ life involved Him dying on the cross, then to be raised to life from the dead. This resurrection enables us to access God, His Father.
In Genesis 3:14-15 God said to Satan he was going to lose, and God’s Son Jesus was going to win the war between Satan and God over Mankind.

• Luke 22:1-24:53.
• Matthew 26:1-28:20.
• Mark 11:1-16:20.
• John 12:1-21:25.
