God Came Down
Pondering all the religions of the world, you will find a similar theme: a list of what you must achieve to come back to that religion’s deity. This list will have one significant absence: Biblical Christianity.
Instead of God telling us what we must do to return to Him, He promised us “I’m coming down to you!” Amazing condescension! He came down and formed us from dust. When we sinned, He came down seeking for us as lost sheep, calling out "Where are you?"— Not because He did not know where we were hiding but to communicate with us. "Communicate what?", you ask. Jesus’ subtext implication says “That guilt and fear you now feel isn’t something I’ve put upon you; it’s the natural result of your sinful choice to distrust Me.”
God then makes the amazing promise to become one of us—the Seed, that would conquer Satan the deceiving serpent—while sustaining great suffering. Four thousand years later, it happened right on time. God came down, incarnated as a helpless child, with full risk of failure. We stagger to think of what failure would look like! Yet not for long, as we praise God that Jesus was faithful in ALL aspects of life in His 33.5 short years on earth. That time was all the world could handle of divine love!
Holy angels joyfully heralded His birth yet, sadly, found few who were interested. Will we face the same climate? Three angels herald three messages regarding Jesus as a loving and glorious Lord, Judge, and Creator; they shout warnings of Babylon’s falls and to avoid Babylon’s mark. Are many responding to the message that God ordains us to share, to give the trumpet a certain sound?
Yes, they are, and NOW is the best time to reach humanity! Modern life becomes more advanced by the day, yet humanity without God keeps declining. Secular humanism’s empty heart grows more obvious with each passing day, and people are looking for the real answer to our needs. That is right, our needs, not only theirs. Therefore, God still comes down to us.
God has placed in our hands the answer to human needs: the everlasting gospel and the means to share it. Friend, how are you responding? Thank you for sharing the three angels’ messages, not only in your witnessing but also by praying for and financially supporting Strong Tower Radio (STR). Your monthly gift enables STR’s continued broadcast to reach souls seeking Jesus—the answer to every need!
In this season when so many consider that God came down, let us invite them to look up to our heavenly Father Who gives all that we might live again with purpose and value.
