THE LORD'S PERFECTION

From the PEARLS OF PRAYER:

"Adorable Jesus! Silent and meek Thou stoodst before the unjust judge. "

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST had to be ABSOLUTELY perfect, meaning completely without sin, to even stand before the face of GOD. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER demanded someone to represent us even with all of our sins which HE can't be around because HE is Holy. OUR FATHER, who art in Heaven knew we needed an example to go by to show us what HE wants and expects of us. HE loved us so much to give us HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS Righteousness, HIS Blessing to us so we may live. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, in turn, loved HIS FATHER so much to want to do HIS Will, and loved us so much that HE agreed to serve as our example and in so doing wanted to give us an immaculate and perfect example to go by. He was the ONLY PERFECT human being that ever was born, lived and died. He had to be in order to fulfill God's covenant with Abraham. What a totally impossible task to be given; but all things are possible with GOD. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST was the Only One that could do this for us because HE was GOD and HE had GOD, THE FATHER's love and blessing to do so. Because of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST's work done over 2,000 years ago, we can know that we are accepted by HIM and can now inherit the Kingdom of Heaven if we know HIM and accept HIM into our hearts and lives to be our Lord and Savior whereas before we didn't even have the possibility.

Most people think that the "great price" mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:20 is only the crucifixion, where the body and blood of CHRIST was spilled to pay for our sins; but not so! The "great price" also includes the whole life of Jesus, not just from birth to death on this Earth; but His whole life from The Beginning all the way into Eternity. The price paid was Very Great and included the LORD JESUS CHRIST'S knowing what HE had to do even before HE got here, agreeing to live that life and actually living it, AND what HE continues to do on our behalf in Heaven. Because of the LORD JESUS CHRIST's payment, we owe HIM our love, gratitude, and servitude for not only HIS Love for all of Us and what HE did for Us in fulfilling OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S promise from which we all benefit, but for the courage it took to carry forth our sins before GOD, THE FATHER . For this we should Love HIM, Respect HIM, give HIM Honor EVERY day of our lives because we wouldn't be here without GOD, THE FATHER; GOD, THE SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, or GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
