Making The Greatness Of God Known

 

Today's verse is 2 Corinthians 8:9

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet sfor your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

    As I read, “Because I will publish the name of the Lord:/ Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.” I forgot, and I wondered how I should do such a thing? Then I read the above verse and I was reminded of what Jesus did for me, and not me only, but for all that would receive it. Jesus Christ came not into the Earth to be an example of how to live for God (though he was,) He did not come to teach us God’s ways (He did.) He came that he might provide a way for sinners to approach a Righteous God. He came so that he might draw sinners from their sin, to lift them out of the mire they enjoy, that they might learn true Joy, as we learn of the riches that can only come from him. This is what he did for us, when he allowed us to kill him by the Cross. Then he rose again, giving redemption to all that will accept this as the payment for their sin. Amen.

To God be the Glory
