'He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the first-born from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.' (Colossians 1:15-20)
Next time there is a clear starry night, stand outside and have a look up into the sky. The God who made all that you see - who made you - once became a man.
Think about that.
The holy, powerful, sovereign and supreme Lord of all put himself into the lowly form of a man. A man who was capable of feeling tired, sad and lonely. Who wasn't much to look at (Isaiah 53:2)
Yet He didn't stop there.
He brought Himself even lower and died an agonising and humiliating death on a cross.
And because He was willing to put Himself through all that, we now have the chance of eternal life.
We don't have to live in fear of messing up.
We know our prayers are interceded for through Him.
We know that whatever we go though, He knows and understands what we're feeling.
God, thank you that you love me so much that you have withheld no good thing from me.
Not even your own Son.
Thank you for Jesus Christ!
