Subject: God can't die or look on sin! |
Bible Note: What we are being taught here is reconciliation. Since God is willing to be reconciled to us, therefore, to be reconciled to God should be our top priority. To learn thru God's Word the very length that God has travelled, in order to promote a relationship with us, is unimaginable in my mind. Christ was perfectly pure, or He would have been an imperfect Mediator. The sacrifice He offered was to be made sin. He was not made a sinner, but an object of sin, a sin-offering, and the sacrifice for sin. This is where the design of the hypostatic union is employed, -a perfect plan with a perfect outcome. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,... ... full of grace and truth. (1:12 ) If I may suggest to you that the Word of God was, during those hours of darkness, in the same place as He was during the three days prior to the resurrection, -and during the eternity past- before the Word was made into flesh. The Word was with God. And the humanity of Jesus, who had never committed sin, was laid aside to suffer the wrath of God for our sin. |
