You Cannot Say

  You cannot say

In John’s gospel we read,

"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth."— John 1:14.

One day we will all stand before God to be judged. On that day we will never be able to say to God “you did not know what it is to be human.”

We will not be able to say this because God knows what it is to be human. You see God entered this world in the form of Christ Jesus.

Jesus while on this earth experienced all that their was to be human. He was a refugee, his parents having to flee to Egypt to avoid the murderous wrath of Herod.

Jesus knew what it was like to be persecuted by those who should have welcomed him, the holy men of his day.

He knew what it was to be flogged and put to death for a crime He didn’t commit. 

On a more mundane level Jesus knew what it was like to smell the flowers. To feel the sun and rain. He attended weddings and other events. He cried over the death of a friend.

In short Jesus experienced all that there is to be human. 

More importantly He offers eternal life to all who believe in Him. Jesus speaking of himself said,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". John 3:16-18.
