As I see First Responders running toward catastrophe after catastrophe, I am reminded that my Saviour, before the foundations of the world, had the means of man’s salvation already in place.
Galatians 4:4-5, But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Recently, a portion of a high-rise building collapsed in Florida. Over one hundred people are feared to be dead. As I have been watching the news, I see First Responder after first responder working to see if they can find just one person alive. They are moving concrete from the pile of rubble, piece by piece, so that if someone is alive; they will not be injured or even killed during the excavation process. What an amazing thought that someone would go to these lengths to recue even just one soul is amazing! Man, what sacrifice!
Friend, there is One that gave His life so that you and I might live eternally! He gave His life so that you and I could be redeemed from impending peril; an eternity in hell. Talking about a First Responder! Jesus gave His life for us before the foundations of the earth is phenomenal to me!
