Incomprehensible but true

  Incomprehensible but true

The apostle Paul wrote,

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.  

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8.

We have just celebrated Christmas the moment in time when we believers in Christ Jesus. When we Christians believe God entered the world He created in the form of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.

The soul purpose in coming to this earth was to show in human terms just how far God would go to show each individual on this earth the way to heaven.

As incomprehensible as it may seem God became man, walked this earth and experienced everything it is to be human. Everything from the love of his parents, family and friends, to the daily mundane things like rain on his face, the smell of dust, to attending social event and more.

He also experienced what it was like to feel the worst of what one man can do to another. To suffer an inhuman beating and the death on a cross for a crime he didn’t commit. 

He did this all for you, for me and for every human being that has ever existed. C. S. Lewis said,

"He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less." C.S. Lewis.

I know it is not what many would expect of an almighty God but it is true. Still to accept that truth takes an act of faith on our part and the writer of Hebrews states,

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6.

Question; do you have the faith to believe that Jesus died for your sins?

Please think about it.
