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.
