But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:<\/span> – Philippians 2:7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The greatest event in the history of mankind, was the moment when Jesus paid the price to reconcile God and man.<\/p>\n

Man had rebelled against his Creator and handed over his authority to a rebellious Angel called Lucifer.<\/p>\n

This single act caused Man to be separated from God and introduced a spiritual cancer called Sin into the world.<\/p>\n

Through Sin came death in all it’s various forms such as disease, depression, dysfunction and disorder.<\/p>\n

Creation had become corrupted.<\/p>\n

Lucifer the Angel became Satan the Adversary, hell-bent on dragging as many humans into an eternity separated from the Author of life.<\/p>\n

The image and likeness of God had become perverted into a lesser creature driven by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.<\/p>\n

Death reigned supreme and Man’s bright spark had all but dwindled to a flicker of a flame…<\/p>\n

And then came Jesus.<\/p>\n

In the fullness of time.<\/p>\n

At the perfect point in history.<\/p>\n

And He paid the price to reconcile God to Man.<\/p>\n

All sins forgiven.<\/p>\n

The wrath of God against Sin fully satisfied.<\/p>\n

Death’s sting broken in Jesus’ body on the Cross and rendered ineffective when He rose again on the 3rd day.<\/p>\n

God the Just One was now free to simply love you…the way He’d always intended to.<\/p>\n

And all you have to do is simply believe on Jesus and surrender to Him as Lord.<\/p>\n

You and God are now one.<\/p>\n

The greatest thing that ever happened to Mankind.<\/p>\n

And how did it happen?<\/p>\n

By Jesus making Himself of no reputation.<\/p>\n

Made empty.<\/p>\n

Rendered useless and of no effect.<\/p>\n

He did His greatest work by stripping Himself of all the recognition, acknowledgment and validation that was rightfully His.<\/p>\n

He did His greatest work whilst looking like the greatest failure who ever lived.<\/p>\n

He did His greatest work by taking full responsibility for Man’s Sin and giving away all the Credit gained through His sacrifice.<\/p>\n

He did His greatest work by taking on the form of a servant…even though He was by very nature God.<\/p>\n

That’s how He did His greatest work…and it’s also how you’ll do yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
