He Did It For You

He Did It for You

All things are worth nothing compared
with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

Philippians 3:8

Want to know the coolest thing about Christ’s coming?

Not that the One who hung the galaxies gave it up to hang doorjambs to the displeasure of a cranky client who wanted everything yesterday but couldn’t pay for anything until tomorrow.

Not that he refused to defend himself when blamed for every sin of every slut and sailor since Adam. . . .

Not even that after three days in a dark hole he stepped into the Easter sunrise with a smile and a swagger and a question for lowly Lucifer— “Is that your best punch?”

That was cool, incredibly cool.

But want to know the coolest thing about the One who gave up the crown of heaven for a crown of thorns? He did it for you. Just for you.

He Chose the Nails
