"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

How can the majesty and sacrifice of Jesus be comprehended? We have been contemplating the identity of our Lord for the past month, and we continue to be amazed, delighted, bewildered, and blessed by His glorious and humble nature. However, the most important thing is that He made peace between a perfect heaven and a flawed humanity. He purchased this peace with His own blood, which He shed on the torture tree at Calvary. He carried within Himself all of God's pleasure and nature. He did so as a result of our sin. He took this action out of love.
