God created by Christ Jesus our earth and gave us life. Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator of the entire universe. It was He, who gave us everything necessary for our life. He created us; He created every bird, every straw of grass, every tree, every beetle, and every flower. He placed the stars in the sky; he lighted up the sun and set everything into motion. He created the whole universe, all the distant stars, planets, and galaxies. Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator of the whole universe, and the Giver of life. Waking up in the morning, every step, every breath is manifestation of His will.

Romans 11:36 - For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Colossians 1:16-17 - For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Romans 11,34-36 - "For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”

John 1:10-11 - He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Hebrews 1:2-3 - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;.

Jesus Christ, the Creator and Lord of all, immortal and eternal, left His position. He descended from His throne to save us, to free men from the bondage of Satan and sin. He renounced to immortality, He left his throne, clothing His divinity with humanity, and He came to our world in human flesh to save us. He ventured everything He had, His life as the Creator and Ruler of the universe. If He failed and sinned as the Son of man, He would die, just like other people do.

He came to this world as the Son of man; He lived here and did not sin. He had to face all the temptations of this world; He was severely tried like nobody else. The Creator and the Lord of the entire universe walked on this earth, He tried all the hardships of this world. He was humiliated, mocked and insulted, spit upon. And even though innocent, He died from an ignominious death on the cross.

Philippians 2:7-8 - But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

So He finished the work of redemption. As our Creator, the Lord of the whole universe, He came to this world, He lived here, and He shed His innocent blood, in order that we, sinful men, might live eternally. And so, whosoever believes in Him and lives in conformity to His law of love can gain eternal life. He shed His innocent blood to save you and me in order that we might enter the eternal kingdom of heaven. He came to reconcile us through His sacrifice to our heavenly Father. Only He, being our Creator could save us through His sacrifice and free us from the bondage of sin. He loves us so much that He, for us, the sinners, sacrificed everything He had, His life. For us, miserable and paltry men, who are less than a grain of sand in comparison with the immense and endless universe.

Romans 5:10-11 - For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

2 Corinthians 5:18-21 - And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

It was a tremendous sacrifice that Jesus Christ made. To save us He risked everything. Therefore, let's praise Him and honor Him, turn to Him alone. He is the only Advocate and Mediator that can wash away our sins, so that we can stand in a spotless robe before our heavenly Father. Let's open our hearts and ask Him for forgiveness of sins and let's give up our wickedness and abandon it. Let's repent and prepare for a soon meeting with our Father. Our journey is over and the world's history reached its end. Let's prepare and clean our hearts from all the evils of this world. Let's learn how to keep the God's law, which is still valid, within our hearts.

1 John 2:1-6 - My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1 John 3:3 - And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Colossians 1:19-20 - For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Hebrews 4:14-16 - Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Jesus Christ calls to us:

Matthew 4:17 - From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for the tremendous sacrifice You have made for us. You risked everything You had, so that I, a trivial man, could be once with You in Your kingdom. Lord Jesus, I love You and want to serve You with all my heart. Though I stumble at every step, I know that You love me and want me to be with You in Your kingdom one day. Forgive me my iniquity, and open my heart. Let Your Holy Spirit guide me and enable me to live in love and in conformity with Your law of love that You gave to all of us through Your servant Moses. Open the hearts of all people who seek the truth in order to understand the depth of Your sacrifice for us. In order to understand the meaning of Your law and how to prepare for an early meeting with You. Thy kingdom come soon, Amen
