WHAT DID CHRIST'S HUMANITY COST HIM?

Yesterday, I wrote down several verses that spoke of Jesus being the great I AM, and to add to that understanding, I would remind "both of my readers," that Jesus didn't just become the I AM in Exodus 3:14, He was the Creator of all there is; He was the God of Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17; and Hebrews 1:1-2!!! 

Of course, most believers are aware of Philippians 2:5-8, which reads:  "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." 

And, unlike His status as the Son of God, Jesus as the Son of man:
*  Was physically born - Luke 2:16-21.
*  Submitted to Joseph and Mary - Luke 2:51.
*  Grew in wisdom and stature - Luke 2:52.
*  Hungered - Matthew 4:2.
*  Thirsted - John 19:28.
*  Was tired - Matthew 8:24.
*  Was sorrowful - John 11:35.
*  Had limited knowledge - Mark 13:32.
*  Questioned His Father's love - Matthew 27:46.
*  Died - John 19:33.

Yes, Jesus chose to come into His own created Universe knowing exactly what it would cost Him.  The writer of the Book of Hebrews wrote of this in verse 4:6 - "For for this cause was the Gospel preached...."  The Gospel. "in a nut-shell," states:  "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel...how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:1-4).  Even though Jesus never personally sinned, the Word states that His Father "...made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Cor. 5:21; see also Heb. 4:15).

 

ARE YOU AWARE OF THE PRICE THE LORD JESUS PAID FOR YOU?

IF SO, THEN YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED ACCORDING TO HIS WILL!
