It makes no sense. God´s Son had stepped into time to become one of us. But surely not to be spat upon, laughed at, tortured and die. Jesus chose to let go of the majesty, glory and power that were his in heaven. He chose to put on flesh and blood - flesh that could be torn apart and blood that could be spilled. But why? For love
(John 3:16). 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Reckless, passionate, unreasonable love. And undignified worshippers live and love without reservation because they have received so lavish a love as this. No price is too steep. No treasure is too precious. No call is too much. Undignified worshippers see the unreserved and passionate love that Christ displayed on Calvary - a love that doesn´t make sense, but cost Him everything. And, standing in the light and safety of that love, they worship with an abandon that says there is nothing I have, nothing I know, and nothing that I am that I´m unwilling to part with for the Lord´s renown.

thats beautiful.
im unsure what to say...but Jesus came down knowing who he was and why he came. God is beautiful and creative..for he is the creator...and he knew what he was doing, i mean he was Jesus and he made the most beautiful and unselfish sacrifice by giving his one and only son up to die for us sinners. We are all born sinners, and thankfully God has poured out his mercy on us by giving us this unbelievable son that we can love and worship and and be best friends with.....its a beautiful thing.
And I for one will never seize to worship him...for he is my lover and my best friend, I will follow him all f my days.

I have heard that hell is being apart from God in every sence of the word. God removed himself from all the world for a period of 400 years. That would be 400 years of hell, as I understand it. This did not change the world, but Christ's price at the cross did. The whole world stood up and noticed.I think the plan was perfect and powerful.
PS I finally wrote my first blog
