He Became One Of Us

Hebrews 2: 14-16 “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.”

Joan Osborne wrote a song and Prince sang it in 1996:

What if God was one of us?
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin’ to make his way home?

Well dear disillusioned seeker, HE BECAME one of us.

Why?
1. To do the Father’s will (Jn. 6:38)
2. To bear witness to the truth (Jn. 18:37)
3. To bring light to the darkness (Jn. 12:46)
4. To bring true judgment (Jn. 9:39)
5. To bring abundant life (Jn. 10:10).

AND to destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Have you been released from that bondage? Are you trusting in the one who came down and became human so that we might become heirs of God?

Maybe now is the time. If he is calling, just say YES.

You ponder that
