| God’s beloved Son, the Author of life, entered a scene of disease and death but remained untainted, unspotted, flawless and faultless. He took on Himself human flesh, partook of our humanity and unresistingly went to Gethsemane and on to Calvary. He, “took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:7-8). There He made reconciliation between a righteous God and the fallen man He had created in His image! “For … when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son” (Romans 5:10). |
