Why Did He Do It?
Why Did He Do It?
Max Lucado: This is Max Lucado. Why did Jesus live on the earth as long as he did? To take on our sins is one thing, to experience death, yes, but to put up with the long roads, the long days... why did he do it? Because he wants you to trust him. Even his final act on earth was intended to win your trust. Mark 15:22 says, "They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, where they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him."
Why? Why did he endure all this suffering, all these feelings? Well, because he knew you'd be weary, disturbed, and angry. He knew you'd be grief-stricken and hungry, that you'd face pain. A pauper knows better than to beg from another pauper. He needs someone who is stronger than he is. Jesus' message from the cross is this: "I am that person. Trust me."
