One cannot begin to understand the sacrifice Christ made on the cross until there is a clear picture of the amazing supremacy that Christ holds. “Let there be Light” and there was light…Christ created all things physical, spiritual in heaven and on earth. Let’s make man in our image…Christ did that. When scientists talk of the galaxies that stretch for an inconceivably astronomical distance across the universe Christ did that. Not only did he create it, but by Him, all this stuff holds together. Jesus was that guy and walked away from the immortal, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscience the Lord had–only to demonstrate His love by humbling Himself to be a human and to die a horrific death–in order to restore our relationship with God. The very One that provided life and purpose sacrificed both in order to give spiritual Life back to men.
So, knowing that, we should leap at the opportunity to build a relationship and follow Jesus Christ our Lord. We have the great gift of being able to step up to God’s throne and ask whatever, whenever and however. God loves us and wants nothing more than to be in relationship with us. It is that amazing gift that drives us to our knees and into God’s word. We must live equally sacrificial lives and walk humbly in His love. As we do, we experience peace and purpose. We see the world falling into hopeless chaos and still are able to piece together a life of hope and joy. We live for the eternal not for the now. We know that ultimately God is Supreme and has a plan to restore all that was destroyed by sin. He is supreme, amazing, and personal. He loves each of us and would have made the sacrifice, even if we were the only beneficiary. That is true love, and that is who our Lord really is!
God Bless You
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by[f] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him, all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation[g] under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
