"He
who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all--how will He
not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?"
Romans 8:32 NIV
This image from #SheReadsTruth is perfect for today! C.S. Lewis
summed up Jesus' purpose on Earth. Since the Son of God came, we know
can also be come sons (and daughters) of God!!
Why
is it important that Jesus is the Son of God? If you have gone to
church throughout your life, you may have learned about the Trinity of
God or the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How can there be
three separate persons but One God? The only answer I have for that is
because God is amazing and our brains cannot comprehend His Glory.
No human
can atone for all the sins of the people forever. The high priests
could atone for the sins of the people for a short while but needed to
daily offer sin sacrifices. Since Jesus was God, He is infinite. Since
Jesus was infinite, His sacrifice could cover an infinite amount of
sins. Also since Jesus was Pure and Sinless, His Blood could offer a
purer sacrifice than any animal blood.
God
literally gave us everything He is and had. Jesus is not only the Son
of God but He is also Himself God. God gave up part of Himself, to come
to Earth. He was separated from Himself when He died on that cross to
take ALL of the sins of EVERYONE who ever lived. If that is not truly
amazing and shakes you to your core, then pray that God would open your
eyes and your heart to know the Truth of His Word.
I want to shout from the rooftops my praise for Jesus the Son of God.
We are now fully reconciled to God and can be a child with the ability
to spend eternity with our Triune God :) We need to praise God DAILY
for this privilege and gift. But how will you praise
Him? By song? Prayer? Completing tasks He has given you? Telling
someone else? Jesus is worthy of our praise each and every second of
the day. He is the only one that should consume our thoughts. What do
you need to change to make this a reality?
What impact does the fact that Jesus is the Son of God make on your life? I would love for you to share down in the comments :)
In His Love,
A
