"The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." 1John 4:14

It is a sweet thought that Jesus Christ did not come forth without His Father's permission, authority, consent, and assistance. He was sent of the Father, that He might be the Saviour of men. We are too apt to forget that, while there are distinctions as to the persons in the Trinity, there are no distinctions of honour. We too frequently ascribe the honour of our salvation, or at least the depths of its benevolence, more to Jesus Christ than we do the Father. This is a very great mistake. What if Jesus came? Did not His Father send Him? God the Father equipped His Son for the great enterprise of mercy. The Father sent Him! Contemplate that subject. "It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief."
Morning and Evening I will Bless the Lord and bring Him Glory.
