Why Did He Come?
His Love Was Everpresent for Us

The Babe in Bethelehem is not just a story…
The man on the Cross not just some tale…
The Empty tomb is still empty…
The Son of God came for us…
Sin had darkened our understanding.
Sin had clouded our perception.
The stain of sin was too great, He had in Eternity, That Sovereign Triune God, the Trinity had already planned for our Salvation.
Before man had fallen or even Creation was made…
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit of God had executed the Masterplan. He knew man would fail…
He knew man was weak…
He knew He would have to Redeem.

The guilty forgiven… Beauty out of ashes…
Weeping into dancing…
Sowing in tears yet reaping in joy…
Tears for gladness…
Our God lifts up the head of the repentant… He calls them righteous.
He lifts up the lowly and those whom the world has rejected.
The abandoned find a Home in him…
The Fatherless have now a father…
The weak are given strength…
The humble is lifted up.
The forgotten He knows by name…
The confused He has made of sound mind…
To the broken, He is the Potter…
Remaking a new vessel from the old…
He discards no one…
He pushes away none.
Those who come in humility and repentance…
He will surely not cast out.
He holds each tear in a bottle…
He remembers our sins no more.
He cleanses and makes clean the surrendered.
He brings light to the darkness of the soul.

All things work together for the good of those who say yes to His mercy.
Those who seek refuge in Him will be covered by Grace.

His predetermined love seeks to save us…
His Redemptive plan is for all who believe.
That day Eve failed and Adam followed, His plan was already in place.

He is the second Adam. He is the Deliverer from iniquity. He changes the wayward into saints of God. He transforms the dryness of the soul in to Rivers of living water.
He claims the poor as His prize and is satisfied in saving the lost.

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to his understanding. He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28‭-‬31

For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
