“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6 (NASB)
Easter is on the horizon of our calendars. We will spend the next week looking at the last days of our Lord Jesus before he was crucified and died on the cross. We rejoice because we know “Sunday is coming” after that. When Jesus died on the cross it was no accident. During His last days He knew what was going to happen as He had always known it. That is what he had come for and our verse reminds us that He died at just the right time – the time God had set. And the reason He had to suffer and the reason he did die was because we could not save ourselves – we could not and can not bear the penalty of rejecting God. We were powerless to clear ourselves before the God of heaven. Jesus did this for us what we could not do for ourselves. And now by faith we become members of God's eternal family. God did not wait until we were good enough, he did it when we were utterly helpless.
