” And when he marked off the earth’s foundations, I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence.” Proverbs 8: 29 & 30
Just how deep is the meaning behind the sacrifice of Jesus by our God in heaven? How much of a sacrifice was it? When God sent Jesus to the earth for the purpose of dying for you and me, he gave us the greatest gift he could give. He gave us everything he stands for. God gave his undisputed love for us. When Jesus came into the world, he became humiliated and endured the raw and intense persecution of this world. He was tortured and put to death in the most traumatic way possible. He was nailed to a cross and raised up high for all to see. As he marched toward his death, he carried the weight of all the sins of humanity, reconciling us to God. As he was dying, he forgave those who persecuted and tortured him. His sacrifice for you and me redeemed humanity. He saved us, he healed us, and he forgave us once and for all. He gave each of us an opportunity for a renewed relationship with our creator, our God in heaven. Without Jesus we are dead. We have no future and nothing but the sins we roll around in each day. However, with Jesus we are alive! We are refreshed in the cool breezes of salvation. We are loved, so that we can love. The sacrifice our God made by giving his Son to the world runs deep. It runs deeper that we can ever realize. He loves us so that we can love Him. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
