God’s Son
“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him” (Matthew 17:5).
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth” (1 Peter 2:22).
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).
What will you give to Him today in return for all that He has done for you? “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15).
