The World Knew Not Jesus When Down To Earth He Came – Hymn Lyric
The world knew not Jesus when down to earth He came,
To purchase redemption, to bear our sin and shame;
They scorned and reviled Him, their Lord and King denied;
The world knew not Jesus, and Him they crucified.
Chorus:
To know Him is to love Him, then why will you not believe?
To know Him is to love Him, salvation will you receive?
He’s won my heart forever, His praises I’ll gladly sing; (I will sing;)
‘Tis Heaven below, this Jesus to know, Redeemer and Lord and King.
The world knew not Jesus and knows Him not today,
For still, men are crying, “Away with Him, away!”
Rejecting the pardon He purchased with His blood,
Afresh crucifying the blessed Son of God. [Chorus]
The world will know Jesus, and every knee shall bow,
And all men confess Him, the Christ they know not now.
The day of His triumph is swiftly drawing near,
In power and great glory, He shall in clouds appear. [Chorus]
Meaning of The World Knew Not Jesus When Down To Earth He Came
In our hymn, “The World Knew Not Jesus When Down To Earth He Came,” we are reminded of the incredible love and sacrifice that Jesus made for us. When He came to earth, the world did not recognize Him for who He truly was – our Savior, our Redeemer, and our King.
Jesus came with a mission – to purchase our redemption and to bear our sins and shame. His love for us was so great that He endured scorn, revilement, and even denial from those He came to save. Despite their rejection, Jesus remained steadfast in His purpose, willingly taking on the weight of our sins and facing the cruel act of crucifixion.
But let us not dwell on the disbelief and rejection that Jesus experienced. Instead, let us focus on the immense joy and blessings that come from knowing Him. The chorus of our hymn reminds us that to truly know Jesus is to love Him. And if we believe in Him, we will receive salvation.
When we have experienced the love and grace of Jesus, our hearts are forever changed. We can’t help but sing His praises and share the good news with others. Knowing Jesus is like experiencing a taste of heaven here on earth. He is our Redeemer, our Lord, and our King.
Sadly, though, there are still many in the world who do not know Jesus today. Just as people rejected Him when He first came, there are those who continue to push Him away, ignoring the pardon He purchased for us with His own blood. It is heartbreaking to think that some are crucifying the blessed Son of God afresh by denying His love and sacrifice.
But there is hope. Our hymn reassures us that the world will one day know Jesus. Every knee will bow before Him and all men will confess Him as the Christ. The day of His triumph is drawing near. He will come again in power and great glory, appearing in the clouds for all to see.
In a world that often seems filled with darkness and despair, the message of this hymn brings us hope, comfort, and encouragement. It reminds us that despite the hardships we may face, Jesus’ love is unwavering. He is always there for us, ready to offer forgiveness, redemption, and eternal life.
So, let us hold on to the truth that Jesus came down to earth, even though the world did not recognize Him. Let us embrace His love, accept His salvation, and share His message of hope and redemption with others. In doing so, we can help spread the good news and let the world truly know Jesus – our Savior, our Redeemer, and our King.
