A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
Realize that the ultimate reason that Jesus became a man was to do exactly the two things we have just focused upon—bear our sin and die on the cross for us. Yes, of course, much else was done by Jesus, and many other reasons round out the fullness of why he came to earth. But at the heart of his coming, at the core of his choosing to follow the will and plan of his Father and take on human nature, was this purpose: to bear our sin and die. As Jesus articulates his own mission, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
What an amazing truth—the eternal Son of the Father left the glories of heaven and took on our human nature for one ultimate, pervasive, and central purpose: to bear the sin we have committed and to die the death that we deserve, because he knew that only in this way would we be saved. Marvel at this love. Marvel at this sacrifice. And worship this God become man.
