Bethlehem And Calvary
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“Sweet Name come down from Heav’n above,
To win our heart’s deep tender love;
As Bethlehem and Calv’ry prove:
My Jesus.”How true this old hymn is! Bethlehem and Calvary do indeed prove that the Lord Jesus Christ came from heaven to win us to himself.
To win our heart’s deep tender love;
As Bethlehem and Calv’ry prove:
My Jesus.”How true this old hymn is! Bethlehem and Calvary do indeed prove that the Lord Jesus Christ came from heaven to win us to himself.
St.
Paul’s declaration that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners” (ITim.1:15) takes in both Bethlehem and Calvary. At Bethlehem
Christ showed His love for man, not merely by coming to be with us, but
by becoming one of us.
Luke, “the beloved physician,” wrote the famous “Gospel According to St. Luke” to show how truly man the Lord Jesus Christ was. Apart from sin,our
Lord experienced all the emotions, the sorrows, the joys, the pains,
the pleasures that we do. The Son of God actually became the Son of Man
that the sons of men might become the sons of God.
But
His life alone could not save us. His holiness would only expose our
sin and condemn us. This is why the Apostle Paul declares that “Christ DIED for our sins” (ICor.15:3), and that “WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FOR-GIVENESS OF SINS, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE”(Eph.1:7).
Those
who believe this and trust Christ as their personal Saviour rejoice in
the truth of the above poem. Their hearts have been won to the Blessed
One who came from heaven to Bethlehem and Calvary because HE loved them.
There is only way to be SAVED 1. Corinthian 15;1 - 4 Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the third day. Believe this from you heart and you will have eternal life.
