Son of Man

Galatians 2:20

I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. 

I live my life in this earthly body by trusting

 in the Son of God, who loved me and gave

Himself for me.  (NLT)

     It is through the sacrifice of the Messiah, that we are given the promise of a new and everlasting life.  It is only by the resurrection power of God that we are able to nail our old lives of sin to the Cross of Christ, and be resurrected into a new and everlasting life in our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Our saving God loves us so much that He gave the world His only begotten Son to die and take our punishment.  The blood of Jesus cleanses all of our sins, His death becomes our own deserved death, and His resurrection becomes our hope.  This selfless act of love bought our freedom from the power of sin and the fear of death, and we can now live in the Presence of our Holy God and Creator.  The Living God who created you, my friend, took it upon Himself the sins of the world in order to save you from certain death and eternal destruction. He did this because He loves you unconditionally and knew that you could not save yourself.  The power of sin and its consequences are way beyond our finite power to comprehend, to control, or to conquer without the Son of God. 

     Because our Lord God created us as eternal beings with both physical and spiritual natures, He knew that the consequences of sin would utterly destroy us.  So He left the glory of Heaven to do what we could not do ourselves—die the sinner’s death, pay the sinners price, and then be resurrected into a glorified body that would never again die.  And this undeserved gift will be passed on to those who believe and put their trust and hope in the Cross of our Savior.  God wants no one to suffer the penalty of sin that His Son received for us, because He knows we are but dust in the wind without Him.  All of us are weak and vulnerable in the face of temptations, and our God takes no joy in losing one single soul to a punishment that is perfectly just.  Should you lose your eternal life to the darkness void of God's Light, it is lost forever, my friend, and you will never again have the chance you have now to reconcile with the One who holds the key to your eternal life in His nail pierced hands.

                                   A Whisper of Hope 

I came, I died, and I rose again…for you, My child.  It did it out of love, I did it for you.  You no longer have to die a sinner’s death, because I died in your place.  But don’t try it alone, for if you do, you will truly die over and over and over again for all eternity.

John 3:13

For only I, the Son of Man, have come to earth and will return

to Heaven again.  And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a

pole in the wilderness, so I, the Son of Man, must be lifted up on

a pole, so that everyone who believes in Me will have eternal life.  (NLT)

Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
