THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 4.21.09

Life Laid Down

JOHN 10:18
No man takes it (life) from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it again. This commandment I have received of My Father!

Me and my Brother-in-law Michael went to see a concert on Saturday night - we got so much more then a concert - we got a word from God! The man who preached that night talked about the fact that Jesus our Lord laid down His life for us - it was not taken away from Him - He willingly went to the cross - this changes how we look at what happened! Jesus knew the cost was high but He was willing to pay it - true He asked God the Father if there was any other way to save us - and God said no - Jesus came with this purpose in mind - He came to die for our sins - there was no fight against the Roman soldiers - there was no revenge taken by Jesus - He spoke not a word says the Word of God - Jesus could have called on many angels - but His mission would have been incomplete - Jesus laid His life down - He had to allow them to do what they did to Him - He had to deny His deity to become sin - to us this is strange but to Jesus it meant that God the Father had to turn His back on His Son - His innocent Son - Jesus became sin for us - This was a life laid down - willingly - Jesus knew what was to happen to Himself and nothing would stop Him from accomplishing His goal of saving all mankind - next time you think about JESUS remember His life was not taken by man - but was given for man!
