1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
It is amazing and breathtaking to consider that God, the almighty creator of all things, took on flesh and became the sacrifice required from sinful man. Even more profound is that this one man was able to, by his eternal perfection, pay the penalty for the sins of all. Any man could pay for the sins of one many, but only this one Man could pay the penalty for the sins of any and every man. He along could stand in mediation between the Sovereign Father and sinful humanity to bridge the chasm created by sin. And in due time, His sacrifice will be validated and proved by His people, His church and His eventual return. This is the Gospel.
Praise God for His amazing, awesome, breathtakingly profound plan that brought about the redemption of sinful man. Praise God for His humble sacrifice and his selfless redemption. Amen.
