DEVOTIONAL
He has redeemed me…that I may be His own and live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness, just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns to all eternity. This is most certainly true. (Small Catechism: The Creed, Second Article, Part 3)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The words from the catechism above are the answer to the question, “Why did He do it?” Why did Jesus do what He did? Why did the Son become man in the womb of the Virgin? Why did He flee to Egypt? Why did He grow up obedient to Mary and Joseph? Why did He teach and preach, heal, and raise the dead? Why did He let Himself be arrested? Why did He submit to such torture and suffering? Why did He allow Himself to be crucified? Why did He give up His last breath on the cross? Why did He leave the tomb behind on the Third Day? All of it—every last bit of His life, His work, His talking, His doing, His accomplishing—was so that you would be His own.
And what then is your life when Jesus has saved you? To live under Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness. Righteousness, because His righteousness was put upon you in Holy Baptism. Innocence because you have been absolved—declared innocent of all charges and sins. Blessedness because you have feasted upon His Body and Blood and will be raised up on the Last Day to see the Lord face to face.
How do we know this is true? How will it happen to us? Because Jesus rose from the dead. Everything He did would be nothing if that tomb wasn’t empty on Easter and Jesus wasn’t alive. But it was empty. And He is alive. Death was defeated. That means sin has been defeated. And along with it goes all unrighteousness, guilt, and sadness. Jesus has done this. When we confess the Apostles’ Creed, that’s what we’re saying about what Jesus has done. We confess who He is and what He has done and we learn that it was all done for our sakes. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
O love, how deep, how broad, how high, Beyond all thought and fantasy, That God, the Son of God should take Our mortal form for mortals’ sake! (O Love, How Deep, LSB 544:1)
