The Son of God.......loved me, and gave Himself for me - Galations 2: 20
Just before He died, Jesus made an inventory of all He had. and then gave it all away. Hear Him "My peace I give unto you" "That my joy might remain in you" He gave His body...."given for you." He gave His blood - "shed for you". Then He gave what He thought a great deal of - His words. Twice He repeats this legacy, "I have given them thy words which Thou gavest me." "I have given them Thy word"
All He had He gave away. "The glory which Thou gavest me I have given them." Then when He was on the cross - He gives away pardon. He gives a home - "Woman behold thy son!" He links two of his own together for ever. On the cross He gave away paradise, which is not mentioned between Genesis and REvelation, but only here at the cross. "Today thou shalt be with me in paradise." Yes today......you can have an immediate transition when you take Jesus.
His clothing was given away "They cast lots for His vesture" I wonder what the soldier thought as he put on that seamless robe? Picture a murderer clothed in the stainless robe of the righteousness Christ.
Then His dead body was given away. Nobody cared for it, until a disciple came and begged to have it, and he was allowed to have it for the asking.
Is He not rich my Master? "My peace, my joy, my words, my glory!" All given away! This is indeed the Master.........Is He yours.
