The So You Would Come lyrics depicts God’s love for us. All the things that HE does are so that we would come to Him.
It is the Christmas season again. People celebrate and sing about Santa Claus, Christmas trees, yuletide, log cakes, turkeys, egg-nog, snow, and the spirit of giving.
For me, I ponder over the real reason for Christmas: the arrival of Jesus Christ.
Why did he come?
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:10
What does the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ mean?
Jesus came because He was the only acceptable sacrifice.
One for all. Once and for all.
The movie The Passion depicted the suffering, torture and death of Jesus Christ. The physical torture: the beating, the whipping, the nails & the three hours hanging under the scorching sun must be excruciatingly painful.
The most terrible part, however, is spiritual. The separation and rejection of God because Jesus bore the sin of the world.
It was not murder, Jesus came knowing that He will die for us.
It was a vivid reminder to me that Jesus paid an enormous price to make me acceptable to God again.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
John 10:17
He came so that I would come.
