"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16
When Father God said to His Son, Jesus Christ: " I love the world so much that I am sending You, My dearest Son on mission to save the world of sinners...", the Son of God could have any one of those excuses not to come down to us, sinners:
Jesus could have said:
-They will not believe Me
-They will not like Me
-They will hate Me
-They will reject Me
-They will oppose Me
-They will accuse Me wrongly and falsely
-They will curse Me
-They will misjudge Me
-They will betray Me
-They will plot against Me
-They will dishonor Me and You, Father
-They will kill Me, crucifying Me on the cross
But He did not say any of these excuses, for your sake and mine!
Jesus Christ could have said to His Father God that it is not worth it, that the world is too rebellious against Him.
But He did not say that, for your sake and mine!
Our Lord and Savior rather humbly and sacrificially left His majestic comfort in Heaven to come down for you and me, to save us from death and Hell unto eternal abundant life and Heaven.
Brothers and sisters,
"Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,
who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
as something to be used
for His own advantage.
Instead He emptied Himself by assuming
the form of a slave,
taking on the likeness of men.
And when He had come as a man
in His external form,
He humbled Himself
by becoming obedient
to the point of death-even to death on a cross"
(Ref: Philippians 2:5-8)
O Lord, My Lord, how I worship and adore You... Thank You, Thank You for loving me unconditionally, even unto death on the Cross!
