Laying Down My Life

This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:16 HCSB

Jesus laid down His life for us. This was a supreme sacrifice, as we did not deserve His sacrifice. Why did He do it? Because He loved us and could not bear the separation, for all eternity, from His people who He created.

We meet many heroes and love the MARVEL Comic Heroes. Jesus was not comic hero, He was real and much more powerful. As many heroes do, He covered His strength so He could spend time with us.

All super heroes are fraught with human fragility. However, the Son for God, although in human flesh, was sinless and won the battle with death, disease and sin.

Through our hero we are free before the Father. He has brought us home. Because of His sacrifice we can be His mini-heroes who walk by faith and not by sight. Amen!
