In a recent meditation, we considered the inspiration of Jesus coming down. Where did Christ come down from? He left the lofty heights of heaven. He departed from the glorious presence of his Father. He gave up the beauty and perfection of his home.
Why did Christ come down? He came down to fulfill his Father’s will. He came to the dark, sin-cursed earth to live as a man and to exemplify how we ought to live today. Prophets of preceding generations announced that a messiah would come to offer redemption for all men — Christ came down to fulfill those prophecies. Since he came down, he could voluntarily give his perfect blood to purchase your salvation.
