Again, and continuing on our theme of our GREAT GOD and FATHER in Heaven, our CREATOR, we see how perfect the plans of GOD always are.
Jesus came to earth and added humanity to His deity. He was born of a virgin and therefore was brought into the world without a "worldly" father. The Holy Spirit came over Mary and she conceived Jesus.
Jesus was taken into the desert and tempted for forty days and forty nights. And he never succumbed to temptation even once.
During his arrest and his torture, (and He was tortured - to be flayed is an absolute torture which nearly always resulted in very near death). He was kept awake - sleep deprived and mocked and humiliated. He was denied by His closest ally - Peter. He was alone, dragged up a hill and then nailed to a cross.
During this whole ordeal, never once did He sin. He never retaliated. He never miscalled anyone. He never uttered a cross word.
Imagine a Saviour, who endured all of this for our miserable sinning ways. This was done so that Jesus is fully competent to make propitiation for our sins on that Cross. Jesus is able to stand before GOD in our place where we should be judged. Instead we are justified through His sacrifice. But He also understands our human life. He is merciful because He has experienced life on earth.
This is our Gracious GOD who makes all things perfect. This is the Wondrous GOD we serve.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I cry out to YOU today. FATHER thank YOU for YOUR enormous Grace and Mercy. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay mercifully GOD blessed today!
