Jesus came to accomplish so many things. Freedom for sinners. Victory over death. Introducing his Father’s kingdom. Giving us a fulfilling way to live. Healing for the sick. Sight for the blind. Eternal Hope! All of this because Jesus was willing to submit to his Father in obedience.
Jesus,
“Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:6–11, NLT)
Now Christ is glorified with his Father waiting for the day when he will return again to bring us to himself. What a wonderful meeting that will be! you and I have a place with Jesus. In these challenging times remember the words of Christ,
“Don’t let this throw you. You trust God, don’t you? Trust me. There is plenty of room for you in my Father’s home. If that weren’t so, would I have told you that I’m on my way to get a room ready for you? And if I’m on my way to get your room ready, I’ll come back and get you so you can live where I live. And you already know the road I’m taking.” (John 14:1–4, The Message)
Celebrate the hope you have in Christ today.
