Our Father bought our freedom at the terrible cost of his
Son's life on a cross in front of a mob that was jeering and jealous of his
popularity. He did this so that you and I could be his honored children,
entitled to all of his wonderful inheritance

“But when the time had fully come, God
sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that
we might receive the full rights of sons.” — Galatians
4:4
Wow! What a rich passage full of many wonderful thoughts.
Let's put it in cornbread English so that we can not only
read it, we can also believe it.
God made history ready for a Savior and then sent his
Son.
That Son had to deal with all the difficulties of the Law
and faced all the frailties of being a human.
Our Father bought our freedom at the terrible cost of his
Son's life on a cross in front of a mob that was jeering and jealous of his
popularity.
He did this so that you and I could be his honored
children, entitled to all of his wonderful inheritance.
To put it succinctly: God's plan, God's Son, God's
ransom, Our glory.
My
Prayer...
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for all the
pain it caused you to send Jesus and to see him persecuted, ridiculed, and
crucified.
Thank you for redeeming me from my sinful
condition, for buying me out of the death that would have been the consequence
of my sins, and for giving me the gift of freedom in Christ and the gift of
family all around the world through Jesus.
To you belongs all glory, honor, and praise
for your marvelous grace.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
