On His Way To Glory!

John 15:13 " Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Jesus died on a cross for the sin of the world, rose the third day morning with all power in His hands that we might love others the way He has loved us. Now remember He loved us while we were yet sinners, ungodly, enemies of God, for Christ died for the ungodly, on His way to glory.

Like Hosea, God redeemed us back after sin had destroyed the once good thing created in the image and likeness of God. He sent His only begotten Son to accept for us the wage paid by sin. He called us friends all who keep His commandments and to prove His love for His friends He laid down His life that all who believe could have an abundant life in paradise with Him and the Father.  On His way to glory he glorified the Father, as his work now complete, he had given sight to blind eyes, so now man could see that he was lost and in need of a savior. He had put hearing in deaf ear, so  man could hear the word of God. He put speaking in the mouth of the dumb, so man could share the good news of the gospel. He put walking in the legs of the lame, so man could stand firm on God's word, and walk up right is His righteousness.  He even called the dead back to life, so man could live a new life as he was no longer dead in sin.

 On His way to glory Jesus paved the way for lost man to be saved and live with Him in eternal glory. Jesus willing to lay down His life that we might know his love, receive his mercy, and live in His grace. Jesus obedient unto death that we might be obedient unto life everlasting, all on His way to glory. Jesus accepted for us, the wage paid by sin. Jesus died that we might have life and life more abundantly.
