A Perfect Sacrifice

So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Hebrews 9:28

The other day in prayer I wondered, and asked the Holy Spirit why Jesus was so young when He had His ministry and was crucified? The answer I received in my thoughts was that at the age He died, He was in His prime. He had His life, potential, hopes, loves, friendships, and aspirations all in front of Him. Jesus was not crucified at a time where one could say, "Well, He lived a long full life." I'm nearing fifty now, and when I think of myself in my early thirties I consider that age so young. I know for many, that is the age of having and raising a family, along with many other milestones. Jesus's perfect earthly life was sacrificed for our eternal salvation. I thank you LORD for the love and sacrifice You provided to this lowly servant. For my redemption, and the redemption of all who believe in You!

AMEN
