How can a lamb be a shepherd? How does the almighty, omnipotent God end up in the most powerless place on the planet: nailed to a cross?! How in the world does God even become a man?! Moreover, WHY in the world would God even want to become a man?! I mean, a human might think that would be a good thing; however, if you are GOD it is a big step down. The gospel in a nutshell of magnanimity and majesty is shared by Aaron Shust in the song entitled: My Savior, My God.
It all seems too good to be true and impossible to have happened. The Divine Creator of everything (including you and me) left the eternal glory of heaven and came to earth as the Son of God for the explicit purpose of saving us. He redeems, forgives, and justifies us when we put our faith in the hands of our Savior and God, Jesus Christ.
Read some high spots in the Gospel of John to get a thumbnail sketch of who Jesus is and what He did for us: John 10:10-18. Then listen to My Savior, My God by Aaron Shust.
John 10:10-18
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock. He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father.”
