This quote by Martin Lloyd-Jones is too good to pass up. Look at the matter in this way. Here we are, miserable worms in this world with our arrogance, pride and our appalling ignorance. We deserve nothing but to be blotted off the face of the earth. But before the foundation of the world this blessed God, these three blessed Persons, considered us, considered our condition, considered what would happen to us, and the result was that these Three Persons, God, Whom man has never seen, stooped to consider us and planned a way whereby we might be forgiven and redeemed. The Son said, I will leave this glory for a while, I will dwell in the womb of a virgin, I will be born as a babe, I will become a pauper, I will suffer insult in the world, I will even allow them to nail Me to a Cross and spit in My face. He volunteered to do all that for us, and at this very moment this blessed Second Person of the Trinity is seated at the right hand of God to represent you and me. He came down to earth and did all that, and rose again, and ascended to heaven; and it was all planned before the world for you and for me. Prayer: Oh gracious God, thank You for Your divine wisdom, sovereign grace, and eternal purpose. I especially thank You that we were included in that plan before the world began. In Jesus precious Name. Amen.
