Meditate On
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we
beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth.
John 1:14
Why
Jesus Became One Of Us
Have you ever wondered why, when God came down to us, He
had to take on the form of human flesh? My friend, it’s so that He could become
our kinsman Redeemer.
You see, in ancient Israel, if you had lost your land or
something through poverty or bad debts, it’s possible to have someone buy it
back or redeem it for you. However, that person had to meet three conditions.
Firstly, he had to be a relative of yours. Secondly, he had to be wealthy
enough to buy back the land. Thirdly, and most importantly, he had to be willing
to do it.
My friend, Jesus came down to us in human flesh so that
He could fulfill the first condition, that is, become our relative or one of
us. Now, do you think that as King of the universe, He had the means to buy
back all that we’ve lost? Yes, of course, but most importantly, He was willing
to it—and He demonstrated this with outstretched arms at the cross!
Beloved, have you lost your health? Have you lost your
peace of mind? Have you lost your direction in life? Jesus, your willing
kinsman Redeemer, can redeem it all for you. Look to Him and not man. Let Him
restore to you all that you’ve lost and even bless you with more than you had
before!
