Jesus made the way

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9 ESV)

 The Bible not only tells us that “God is a spirit” but also that “God is love.” God is the Spirit of love, the Great Spirit, the Creator. What is God like? He’s love.
 Jesus is the manifestation of the love of God.
 Jesus made the way. He is the way! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) There is only “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)
 Jesus actually renounced the rights of His citizenship in heaven, and “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9) He adapted Himself to our bodily form and conformed to our human ways of life, so that He might understand and love us better, and communicate with us on the lowly level of our own human understanding. In a sense He became a citizen of this world, a member of humanity, a man of flesh, in all points like as we are, in order that He might reach us with His love, prove to us His compassion and concern, and help us understand His message in simple terms that we could understand. —David Brandt Berg [1]

 Faith in Jesus Christ is the soul’s flight into the city of refuge. —Hugh Binning (1627–1653)
