Every step to the cross Jesus echoed the words: “My Father is of infinite worth. His will, His pleasure, His holiness, and His justice are the reality of life.” And every hammer blow driving the nails into His hands and feet on the cross echoed through the universe: “My Father is of infinite value. What He has purposed, is all that matters.” The Father delighted in His Son. His Son delighted in Him. And the Son, and the Father delighted in us out of mere grace.
The Easter Season represents greatness and power to me. The greatest forgiveness was given, the greatest love was displayed (Son to the Father), the greatest sacrifice was made (blood of Christ), and the greatest worship was given. We worship God when we sacrifice, thus the greatest act of worship would have to be linked to the greatest sacrifice. (We might also say that it was the greatest defeat, the greatest debt was paid, greatest victory, etc.)
You are invited to join Dr. T. D. Worthington for this week’s edition of PathLight. This week, you will be reminded how God was pleased to give His Son to die in our place and how glorious God is in His love and grace.
