I had originally planned on blogging about joy, suffering, and the psalms. That blog will come, but here is what is on my heart today.
Galatians 4:4-7 ESV But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God
How do these verses make you feel?
This is not a sentimental statement. It is the core of the Gospel.
God sent His Son.
His only Son.
Born of the Virgin Mary.
Adopted by Joseph.
To be hung on a cross to die.
So that we can join His family.
And have new life.
This is not the plan just in case everything fails. This is THE PLAN.
