Why Jesus

Why Jesus?





JESUS was born,

that I might be born twice.





HE became poor,


that I might possess wealth.




HE became homeless,


that I might have a mansion.




HE was stripped,


that I always should have clothes.




HE was forsaken,


that I always should have friends.




HE was bound,


that I might have perfect liberty.




HE was saddened,


that I might have full joy.




HE descended,


that I should be lifted up.




HE became a servant,


that I might be a son forever.




HE was made sin,


that I should share HIS righteousness.




HE died,


that I should never taste eternal death.




HE will come down,


that I might go up.




All of this -- that HE might display

in me the riches of HIS grace,




and so I can dwell with God in heaven.
