“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."
John 3:16-17
John 3:16-17
I want you to try and picture those moments in
heaven just before God the Son left His throne of majesty and came to earth as
a baby. Think about it: The angels in heaven understood the life that lay
before Him. The Father was putting Him on a path that would lead to humiliation
and death. And Christ Himself knew the pain He would endure on the cross. It
must’ve been so hard.
So what made Him go? It was love. God loved the people of this planet, and knew Jesus was the only way we could be saved from the consequences of our sin. And our planet – a little speck in the great universe – was loved so much that God became a man. We didn’t deserve Him, but we got Him.
It’s been well said, “God doesn’t love us because we’re valuable; we’re valuable because He loves us.” No truer words have been spoken. Jesus didn’t come into the world because He found us attractive. No, He came into the world so that we might become holy and blameless in the eyes of God.
Our Lord experienced so much hardship by coming into the world. But He knew it was worth it, to rescue us from the dominion of darkness and bring us into His Kingdom!

JESUS CAME BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US. PRAISE HIM THAT BY
ACCEPTING THAT LOVE, YOU’RE MADE HOLY IN GOD’S EYES.
