Through out the Old Testament God had a plan and revealed that plan through scripture. Generation after generation passed leading up to the coming of Jesus and for good reason. God wanted time to pass, to build history, to demonstrate his unfailing love and everlasting power!
Jesus birth into this world was filled with majesty! Jesus was every single thing that the Old Testament said he would be and so much more than ever could have been conceived. What an honor to live today and be able to look back and understand the complete story of God gracious promise!
We get the benefit of seeing the scriptures as a whole. We know when he came, why he came, and how he came. God has revealed to us things angels longed to have know and yet were kept from fully understanding. Salvation has come to earth and we have Gods full grace and mercy poured out onto us without measure!
Listen to the words of Isaiah the prophet as he describes ourLord Jesus!
Isaiah 53:1-12
We have been set free! We have been given a second chance without merit. We have been forgiven without deserving grace. What sins have you committed. What horrible acts do you regret? Who have you hurt with your selfish nature. What relationship have you ruined because of your pride? Jesus came to set us free from sin and guilt! Repentance starts with accepting God's gift of grace and falling on your knees in complete obedience to Gods plan for your life! Jesus came to mend the broken hearted, to repair the damage of sin, and to reconcile us to God!
Praise God for Jesus and his mercy. Praise God for his unfailing love unfailing his power to save. Through God we have the power to change. To live Godly lives and to honor God through all that we do!
