Jesus is the revealed truth of God. His birth into the world is for this purpose, that truth through him might be revealed. Up to this point truth had not been fully revealed, but only in part through the prophets of the Old Testament. But through the person of Jesus, truth was fully known. Listen to what Jesus said to Pilate, just before he was crucified - John 18:37:
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Pilate asked him if he was a king, referring to the King of the Jews. Jesus said in so many words 'yes I am a king, but the real reason I was born is to reveal truth'. No one knows what "truth" really is but Jesus! He is the only one who was in Heaven with God and came down to earth from God.
Jesus was born to reveal truth! He is the only person ever born for this purpose. He was sent from Heaven to reveal the heart and desires of God to the people of Earth. Because he came down from Heaven only he truly knows Gd the Father's desires and plans for us!
In John 1:18 Jesus said, No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
No man from the earth has ever seen God the Father; only Jesus who was with the Father in Heaven before he came to the Earth.
In John 6:38 He said, For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Here, Jesus explains the reason he came to earth, not to do what he himself wanted to do (his own will), but to do what God the Father sent him to do. That's why he died for you and me, to do the Father's will.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
In this scripture, Jesus explains what the will of God is for us. And that is, that everyone who understands who Jesus is, and believes in what he has done for them on the cross, will receive eternal life. Eternal life is the life of God. Jesus also adds that he will resurrect them at the last day!
What I just said is what "truth" is! This is what Jesus came to reveal and to fulfill!
Listen to John 3:16, 17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus came to the Earth from Heaven to reveal this "truth" to you! If you will repent of your sins and believe the "truth" you will be given the eternal life of God and the privilege of living with Him forever!
Do it now!
There is no time to waste!
Receive Jesus into your heart today and live for his return!
