Amazing Irony

There is a great irony in the Christian life that we can acknowledge. The irony is that people are trying so hard to be god that they don’t see that God became one of us so that we would stop trying to be Him! As 1 Cor. 15 says "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures". That is why the apostle Paul could so confidently assert that "it is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all" (1 Tim. 1:15). We know that "there is one one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim. 2:5). We know that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). So we can stop trying to be our own god and rest in the one true God, revealed in Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
