Jesus always has you in mind. He does it all to save and redeem you, a lost sinner.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Jesus was obligated to be like us. The Son of God was obligated to step into a cumbersome time from endless eternity. Obligated to put on finite flesh and disrobe deathless radiance. Obligated to endure the playground of Satan when he had the throne of God. Who could have obligated him to such a thing? Well, God always has a reason. And Hebrews 2 tells us why. There it says, “For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Oh, friend, Jesus did it all because he had you in mind – his purpose was to save and redeem you, a lost sinner. We’re saved; and Jesus did it all for your sake.
