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 normal, I felt energized after a great morning of worship @ Cokesbury Church on Easter Sunday a couple of weeks ago. Now with May quickly approaching, the celebration of Jesus' resurrection is a distant memory in many people’s minds and life has 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. While He never once sinned during His time on this earth, Jesus 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!
