And it was not just His Child, but it was God Himself, who died to pay the price due to all sinners. It was not the son by normal generation, but by becoming like us in every way, but totally innocent of the sin for which he died.

And it was not just in the dying that Jesus was the Savior, but through His resurrection (the rising from the dead). After going back to heaven, Jesus continues to live as an intercessor -- a go-between -- to relay our prayers to God the Father.

The point is, none of us are God. So it is not up to us as to how He does his work. If we raise our fist to him, He does not draw back. He draws us towards Himself, loving the unlovely, to the extent of sacrificing everything to save us from the consequencesof our rebellion.

I urge you to read the Gospel of John with an open mind. What kind of love do you see in this Jesus? Read the book of Philippians. Peruse the heavy epistle to the Hebrews. If you really want answers, God is willing to talk.

May God bless you,
