The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has chosen me. He has commissioned me to encourage the poor, to help the brokenhearted, to decree the release of captives, and the freeing of prisoners. Isaiah 61:1
As usual, the worship service on Easter Sunday at Cokesbury Church was moving, uplifting, and inspiring. As Monday arrived, it didn't take too long for the celebration to fade as the work week quickly began and life returned back to its normal and hectic pace. In an effort to continue building upon our Savior’s resurrection and what it means to all believers, I began pondering why God chose to come in the form of His Son in human flesh to this earth…
I am convinced that in addition to showing us His love for us, it was also God's divine way of proving that He is truly concerned about our human needs. Jesus walked and lived among us, God in flesh form, and experienced the same temptations, struggles, and triumphs we did. He never once sinned, but during His time on this earth, came to a much greater understanding of the human condition.
No other 'god' offers the same love, understanding, and sacrifice that our loving Father freely gives to each one of us through His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God!
