1 Peter 3:18—For Christ also suffered for sins once for all,
the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to
death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.
When God came to Earth as Jesus Christ, it was an act of
grace. He did not have to come and
experience the human plight—He did it because He wanted to enjoy even greater
intimacy with us, His Creation. He already
knew everything about us—the number of hairs on our head, every thought in our
mind, every wrinkle, scar, and mole on our body. But it is one thing to know and another thing
to experience. When Jesus came to Earth,
He experienced life as a human being. He
felt what it was like to be in a human body with all the limitations of that
body. Can you imagine the great love God
has for us, that He would leave a place of infinite power and wisdom just to
come and feel and experience life on Earth alongside of us, His Creation? All this so He could know us better.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, worship God as
the God of mercy. Praise Him for His
unconditional and never-ending love for you.
Thank Him for His sacrifice and rejoice in the intimate relationship He
has cultivated with you. Open your Heart
to receive His embrace and pray for the Holy Spirit to wrap you in a whole new
understanding of God’s love for you.
