| The Son |
| “Unto us a Son is given” (Isaiah 9:6). |
| “Having yet therefore one Son, His well-beloved, He sent Him” (Mark 12:6). |
| “God … gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16). |
| “The Father sent the Son” (1 John 4:14). |
| From a past eternity, God the Father had one Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. At a certain moment in the history of this world, He sent that Son to die on Calvary’s cross. |
| We often consider the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus in coming in love and obedience to His Father, but let’s stop a moment today and consider the great sacrifice of the Father in giving and sending His Son. This was a Son who could say in truth, “I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him” (Proverbs 8:30), and of whom the Father could affirm, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 17:5). |
| As you worship, praise, and thank the Lord Jesus for the mighty work on the cross, don’t forget to worship, praise, and thank God the Father for sending His Son, the One who could say, “I do always those things that please Him” (John 8:29). |
