God's only begotten son
Galatians Chapter 1
4 For Christ gave himself for our sins, to save us from this evil age, according to the will of God and our Father, to save us from this evil world.
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, and He now sits at the right hand of God, having authority over heaven and earth. This same Jesus came to earth 2,000 years ago, taking on human form. Why? To rescue us from this wicked generation and to atone for our sins. When He came to earth, He did not come as royalty. He was born into poverty and in circumstances that invited suspicion about His birth. His father, Joseph, initially thought Mary had been unfaithful when he found out she was pregnant. Being a righteous man, he planned to quietly end the relationship. However, an angel appeared to him in a dream and dissuaded him. Jesus was born in poverty and laid in a manger. When King Herod heard about Jesus' birth, he ordered all male infants within a few kilometers of Bethlehem to be killed. The Son of God, sent from heaven, was not welcomed by the world at that time.
Why didn't God send Jesus as a member of Roman royalty at the time? In heaven, He is the highest, yet on earth, He came to the lowest place. Later, Jesus lived in Galilee, a region so looked down upon that being from there was enough for people to reject Him. In every aspect-His birth, background, and social status-Jesus was despised and overlooked. Despite this, He spoke with spiritual authority that those in power could not match, performed miracles, fed the hungry, and healed the sick. These actions inspired people to believe He was the Messiah who would save them. They hoped He would overthrow the ruling powers and bring them deliverance. However, Jesus exposed the corruption and hypocrisy of the religious elite, such as the Pharisees and Sadducees, which led to their jealousy and scheming. In the end, they falsely accused Him and had Him crucified. The same people who once hailed Him as a king turned against Him when He was labeled a criminal, swayed by the powers that be. They betrayed Him, abandoned Him, and even cursed Him, despite all He had done for them-because He didn't meet their expectations or do more than they desired. Jesus came to bear the sins of the world through His death on the cross, not to serve as a political savior.
Jesus associated with sinners, tax collectors, the poor, and the powerless, and because of this, He was criticized. He was hated by the established authorities in every way. The price of that hatred was death, and He accepted it willingly. Through His death, the blood He shed became the atonement for the sins of all humanity. If we simply believe in this truth, we receive salvation for our souls and the right to become children of God.
If we can believe in this story, as unbelievable as it may seem, we will receive salvation for our souls. The Holy Spirit will come and transform our thoughts and minds, opening the communication that was once broken with God. God will meet our needs and grant us wisdom, giving us the strength and hope to live our lives. I have read the Bible and understood all of this, but the reality of carrying my own cross and following this path in my life has often felt overwhelming and confusing.
