Mark 10:45 

I am thankful Jesus came to ransom His life for mine

Today’s world equates greatness with influence and fame. But Jesus says greatness isn’t found in power and glory. Rather it’s measured by our ability to live lives of sacrifice as servants and slaves to others. And He knows of what He speaks. As Creator of the world, Christ sits on His glorious throne in heaven. Yet at the request of the Father, He willingly left that throne. Out of great love, Jesus came to earth to become our sin substitute. Even when that meant not coming in pomp and circumstance. Or being welcomed with a grand parade. But instead coming in humility in the form of a servant. And facing hurt, betrayal, torture, and ridicule, all to offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. God makes one thing abundantly clear. The greatest in His sight are those who humbly serve. And as slaves of Christ, what a privilege it is to serve others as our Lord came to serve us.

John 1:14

I’m thankful Jesus left His heavenly throne to become man

From the beginning it was God’s plan to establish a way for us to fellowship with Him forever.  And so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, “The Word of Life” in the flesh. As God’s Son, Jesus is heir to everything. (Heb.1:2) Yet in a perfect display of humility and obedience, Jesus became a man, and for a little while becoming, “lower than the angels…because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.” (Heb. 2:9) Christ willingly left His glorious throne in heaven and became human. He did this out His great love for both us and the Father. And to save us, He had to become one of us. The consequence of sin is death. But Christ in His beautiful love, became our substitute paying the sin debt we owe and giving His sinless life for our sin filled ones. And through His blood we now can have an intimate, unbreakable relationship with God.
