Understanding The Bible |
He Did It For Us
Part 1
By Joan A Deering
Why Would Father God send His Son, who is also part
of the Godhead to earth as a human?
Many ask this question.
If Jesus is God why would he want to be a
human for 33 years as the account in the Bible states.
He was born a baby, grew up just like people
do and started His on earth ministry at age 30.
Hebrews 2:14-18
14 Therefore,
since the children share in flesh and blood, He
Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render
powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all
their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help
to the descendant of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He
had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a
merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God, to make propitiation
[turning the just
judgment of God away from us to Himself]
for the sins of the people. 18 For since He
Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid
of those who are tempted.
What an amazing God
we have that He send His Son, Jesus, into the world, a speck in His creation, to
live, die and be resurrected for us.
Amazing grace and mercy!
Thank you, God, for this amazing gift to us so
we could be with you forever when we believe this!
