John 10:15

Friend, Jesus gave His Life, in the flesh, as The Good Shepherd for us whom He calls "His little sheep."

He loves us as The Shepherd loves his sheep. He came to earth in the days when shepherding sheep was a common occupation. It had to be done to save the sheep from the wolves, and even from themselves, as they wandered off and got lost often.

Jesus likened us to the sheep so that the people of that day and even up to today can understand HIS Position of care and guidance that He takes on for us.

Knowing mankind fully as The Creator, He decided that evil workings in our world, had come to the Holy Time in God's Law and Design, when a Saviour would be needed to rescue the souls of mankind.

God's Love for His Creation both for the world and all it's animals and sealife, and mankind, whom He had given a soul and spirit, which was above any other on this earth, is so great that something drastic had to be done, for evil had it's malicious tentacles everywhere.

At God's Appointed Time, Jesus came to the world in the Way that God designed for Perfect Execution of His Plan, to check evil in the earth until the next encounter God must have with evil.

The evil force in the earth brings darkness to God's Creation, and it is that evil which God has the reigns on. 

Evil was banished to earth and Adam and Eve had The Garden of Eden where everything was absolutely beautiful; loveliness was everywhere.

Adam and Eve would have had no desire of their own to leave The Garden. They met with God in the evenings to walk and talk with Him; to enjoy each other's company.

However satan with his own type of existence on earth, allowed by God, has never fully been stripped of all his power. He was very Great in Heaven and had much power and influence given to him by God; but he grew proud and became a liar. He led many away from God and God banished them all to earth before Adam was ever created.

Satan still answers to God. God owns him and all who fell with him from Heaven. When summoned, he must and will appear before The Throne.

So when Adam was created, satan was like a cat; interested in the new "plaything" walking around the Garden. We don't know how long it took him to deceive Eve; but deceived she was; because of her innocence and failure to obey one command; to not eat of any fruit off the Tree of Life.

By the time of The Cross, much damage had been done to the peoples of earth by satan. Everyone was infected with sin. We were worthless souls. None of us were good but a few still believed in The One True God.

It was time for God to rescue us. Satan had to be checked. The Time was Righteous by His Standards. And satan knew nothing of what God was going to do; but he was involved in the affairs of mankind; using their kings and such to his advantage in his world games, just like he does today.

In that One Holy Perfect Lawful  Act;  from Jesus's Birth to the traitorous act of Judas, to the Crucificion, Death and Resurrection; all was necessary for God to be known as Righteous. 

He did not spare even His Own Son; but He spared mankind; in that all who will come to Him by the Blood shed by His Son, will be accepted into The Kingdom and called Forgiven Saved.

We do not have to pay that price if we believe Jesus paid it for us. God will not and cannot accept our blood. It is evil. It is not Pure and Holy; but Jesus's Blood is.

He did not sin while He lived in the flesh on earth, and He certainly does not sin in Heaven.

All Heaven, the Great cloud of witnesses spoken about in The Bible, were watching and saw The Son of God pay for the sins of mankind. God showed His Whole Creation how much He loves mankind.

We can bow at The Cross at any time; day or night and give our heart to Jesus in thanks for what He has done for us.

This is God's Desire. He wants His earthly children to accept His Son's Work of Love, at Calvary's Hill on The Old Rugged Cross.

Do you acept He rescued you from the flames of Hell; your just reward?

If you cannot accept His Sacrifice then it shows God you are not thankful; do not believe in Him. That is your right to make that choice, but the consequence of that choice is damnation for unbelief.

God is cleaning up, and the goats will be separated from the sheep, and the weeds from the good plants, and everyone will be plucked from the earth, and the dead roots will be thrown into the everlasting fire; never to fully die but to burn forever.

God's Way or Hell.

Truth.
