Bible Question:
Did
Jesus ever ask the Father to make him into flesh so that He
could come to earth and redeem us?
Bible Answer:
The
Bible does not give us the answer to your question.
We are told, however, that Jesus came to this earth to die for
us because He wanted to! In the book of Hebrews, we read that
He came to do the will of God the Father. He willingly came
here and died for us.
| |
. . . then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO THY
WILL.” . . . By this will we have been sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once
for all. And every priest stands daily ministering and
offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can
never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice
for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,
waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE
A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. (NASB) Heb. 10:9-13 |
When Jesus came, He took on human flesh. He was not
ashamed to look like us either.
| |
For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified
are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed
to call them brethren . . . (NASB) Heb. 2:11 |
Conclusion:
It
is wonderful to realize that God was not ashamed to look like
us. He was not ashamed of us. He may not like our sinful habits,
but He does not reject us. He loves all of us, especially those
who believe in Him - Christians. |
