A Sobering Thought of Gratefulness

A Sobering Thought of Gratefulness

God is all powerful and all wise. God knows everything there is to know. In the scope of His righteousness and holiness, He can choose how to manage a scenario according to His influence and design.

With this said, consider the following,

When the Son of God went to the garden that night and bowed his head and said, “Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:”, do you know what that means?

In all of God’s knowledge, and in everything that there is to know, God determined that there was ONLY ONE WAY He could justify sinners, and it was that his Son had to drink that cup, bear our sins in His body, and die on the cross.

In all of wisdom, creation, and time, that was the only way that God could remain just, but also be the justifier of the ungodly.

Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

What a sobering thought.
Oh Father, how grateful I am for your grace and wisdom.
