Worthy is the Lamb

I felt what Kah Wei and dad shared on Sunday really good. The theme on that day was Jesus being the worthy lamb to be sacrificed. Kah Wei shared on a part of Job where God asked him to consider the great creature God created. He read Job 41 and then verse 27; He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. I might not get it entirely right, but Kah Wei said something like this,

"This creature that God created was so great that iron was like straw to him and bronze like rotten wood. But Jesus came down and was crucified to a cross made of wood and nails made of iron."

I thought what he said was really good. Jesus came down as a person so low, that he became lower than the creatures he had created. Then my dad preached on John 21:1-25. When he came to verse 19, he said that the 'Follow Me' meant following Jesus until his death. He said this as well.

"Brothers and sisters in Christ, when you look back at all the things you have sacrificed for Jesus to follow Him, always remember that Jesus sacrificed much more than you; He left His glory above, came down to be rejected, and died on the cross for you and me."

To be honest, I never really looked at it that way before, where Jesus actually DID sacrificed much more than us, even His life. Yes, He did know that He would be raised up to life again, but it's just like doing something wrong and having the fear to own up to it. He felt afraid too. So thank you, Lord, for your amazing sacrifice and love to us all. Worthy is the Lamb. Amen.
