Jesus Christ, the Wisdom
of God
beings toward Himself
by demonstrating His love toward them all through
the only convincing
way possible—
the very Creator
Himself would come
to earth and sacrifice
His life for them
(John 3:16-17).
The dynamic of Christ’s sacrifice
God had to ensure that
human beings, whom God intended to become
children in His divine
family (2 Corinthians 6:18), would never turn
against Him at any
point in
the future. (To learn
more about this incredible future, request or download a free copy of the
booklet What Is Your Destiny?)
Since the first man
and
woman disobeyed God
and chose to follow
Satan,
how would God ensure
this
would never happen
again?
How could God bring
them
to the point that they
would
never turn against
Him?
How would He win their
complete trust?
The plan for the Word
to
become a human being
and
surrender His life for
all humanity would establish God’s love without
question.
The sacrifice of
Christ was not only for the payment of sins, but would
forever be a witness
to God’s love (John 3:16-17). God would have a relationship with His children
who would be in the relationship because they
wanted
to be there. It would
be a relationship of complete trust.
It is obvious that the
first human beings did not really know their God
and their Creator.
Just before Jesus was arrested and killed, He emphatically declared to His
disciples,
“From now on
you know Him and have
seen Him” (John 14:7).
The statement Jesus
made in His final prayer now comes into its own:
“And this is eternal
life, that they may know You, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ whom You
have sent” (John 17:3). His sacrifice would be
the final witness, the
ultimate statement, of the love God the Father and
Jesus Christ had for
mankind. The disciples would soon know God in
the most profound way
and come to the most profound of realizations.
