Christ came to earth for one reason: to
give His life as a ransom for you, for me, for all of us. He sacrificed Himself
to give us a second chance. He would have gone to any lengths to do so. And He
did. He went to the cross, where man's utter despair collided with God's
unbending grace. And in that moment when God's great gift was complete, the
compassionate Christ showed the world the cost of His gift…
He who was perfect gave that perfect
record to us, and our imperfect record was given to Him. Jesus was "not
guilty, but He suffered for those who are guilty to bring you to God" (1
Peter 3:18). As a result, God's holiness is honored and His children are
forgiven.
-- Max Lucado in “The Gift for All People”
