The greatest gift of all time

Many of you can understand how difficult it was to accept the fact that Jesus is God. Personally, that fact kept me from believing in God. It was literally a preposterous thought
and foolish to accept that God payed for my sin on a cross. The most humanly shameful death a man could experience two thousand years ago! It is described like this in the bible… Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
How could this be a joyful act to die on a cross? Only God could endure such pain knowing the outcome. And because Jesus is from eternity, He is God… Micah 5:2 “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,Too little to be among the clans of Judah,From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.His goings forth are from long ago,From the days of eternity.” This passage in the bible was written several hundred years to prior to the birth of Jesus. See, He is also the Creator of all… John 1:1-5, 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The greatest gift of all time, God became man. Will you accept this gift?

Prayer for today… Lord God give me understanding to accept this wonderful gift. Amen
