       Jesus didn’t come to the earth and die for us because we were good people. We don’t come to Jesus in our goodness in order to make us better. Jesus so loved us that he died for us because we were sinners, which is a pretty amazing thing. Really, if you stop and think about it, he died for his enemies in a way. Jesus tells us to love our enemies and do good to them, and that’s exactly what he did. Before we knew God, we were enemies of God. And yet, John stated, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, ESV). That had to be a hard thing to do, to die for your enemies. Would you or I be willing to die for our enemies? I would venture to say most definitely not.
