Cool

It is difficult to find a man willing to lay down his life for another man, and nearly impossible to find one who would give his life for another who has wrong him - time and time again. Such a sacrifice defies every inch of our being. Why would one do such a thing? God did this from love, a divine love that is too great for us to fully apprehend, and that's reasonable, because He's Almighty and most merciful. God does a wonderful job explaining this deep love to us in the canon of Sacred Scripture. He so loved sinners that He etablished a payment system in the Old Testament by which an innocent animal would give his life for a gulity man. The innocent for the guilty; the unstained lamb for the sin stained sinner; the just for the unjust; the Holy for the unholy. Through God's grace, he honored a substitutioany sacrificial system, and for a time, he covered the sin of believers.

But this temoprary system really pointed to the bigger picture. One day God would give the once-for-all sacrifice, the ultimate in innocence, for the ultimate in guilt. The absolutely pure, for the wholly defiled.

John 3:16-18 -
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotton Son of God."
