Quotes from Darrell Johnson (143-144)

“Here I am.” “Here I am,” says the representative human. “Here I am,” says God the Son as one of us. “Here I am,” says the One who is us! “Here I am – and all the children You have given Me.”

That is the gospel of Hebrews 1 and 2. God loves humanity that He becomes humanity. God so loves us that He becomes us. God has not given up on His original design.  The Living God so wants us to be all He wants us to be that He becomes all He wants us to be!”

“Here I am.” Finally.
“Here I am.” The true human.
God the true human!

And that, brothers and sisters, is why we are drawn like a magnet to Jesus of Nazareth. That is why we find him irresistible.  Who is Jesus? He is everything we were meant to be. He is everything we long to be.

To Him be all the praise and glory now and forever more. Amen.
