---God Sent His Son ~~

---"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
---[John 3:16]

---God sent His only Son to redeem all people from eternal destruction. We can hardly fathom the depth of what the Lord did to deliver us from the miry pit of sin, so that we might experience eternal glory with Him. "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings" (Psalm 40:2). The Lord did all this is in spite of our sinfulness. "But God commendeth his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5;8).

Even though God did so much to save fallen mankind, many people do not appreciate His marvelous grace and only want their own way. Just think of how it must grieve the Father and His Son Jesus Christ after what they have done to make a way of escape from inevitable damnation. We need to praise Him continually for His infinite mercy and compassion. Hebrews 2:3 asks, "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him?"

In today's Bible reading (Hebrews 2), we see that God continues to seek us wherever we may be found. We will be blessed if we in turn seek Him, as Psalm 105:3 says: "Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord" The next verse tells us, "Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face evermore." Remember that the Lord said in Genesis 6:3, "My spirit shall not always strive with man." Let us heed while the Spirit is calling, because eventually we may no longer hear His voice and may no longer have opportunity to come to Christ. ~~
