Gospel Reflections #682: And now we have life

Revelation 5:12 "The Lamb that was slaughtered is worthy of power, riches, wisdom, majesty, honour, glory and praise."

Our Jesus created us, created the world, accepted that we had fallen into sin, and has worked in us without giving up, not for Himself, but for our salvation and for our restoration.

His work has not been coercive or violent, but has been patiently guiding us to choose God for ourselves, respecting our free will to the utmost.

From the beginning to the end, Jesus has always been faithful to the will of God the Father.

He knows all our weaknesses, our ugliness and our unfaithfulness, and he has compassion on us, heals us, protects us and nurtures us.

Jesus renewed our lives in exchange for his own life.

No one can do this but Jesus.

We are kept alive by Jesus' sacrifice, and through being kept alive by Him, we express joy, gratitude, and hope.

Our life is our life for that purpose.
