\"Creator<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

However, God is righteous<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He does not forsake his promises to this people. He will indeed restore his creation and be Father to all nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The heavenly Father sent his son Jesus to be the world\u2019s one true King<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. Through him, God fulfills his covenant to Abraham. From Israel, God raised up a Savior, called \u201cChrist.\u201d This Son of heaven sets the world right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus declared the good news,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come, God\u2019s kingdom is near! <\/em><\/span><\/strong>Repent and believe this good news\u201d <\/strong>(<\/span>Mark 1:15)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Not only did he teach what God\u2019s kingdom is like, he also healed the sick and cared for the socially disadvantaged. People often love only others like themselves, but Jesus loves all people. He opposed God\u2019s enemies, whether demons, disease, unjust authorities, and the like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus challenged society\u2019s traditional thinking. Therefore, the leaders of Jesus\u2019 day opposed him, provoking the common people to reject him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although he had committed no crime, people ultimately condemned him, crucifying him on a cross. Even though he deserved people\u2019s allegiance and honor, they humiliated him. Their selfish hearts were defiled, refusing to give God glory.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this was all according to God\u2019s planned will. God had always planned that Jesus would repay the debt humanity owed God. Although people are hostile to him, our king\u2014Jesus\u2014willingly bears the burden of humanity\u2019s depraved offenses, taking away their curse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus\u2019 entire life even unto death perfectly glorified the heavenly father. To everyone\u2019s surprise, this is how Christ gained victory<\/span><\/em><\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n
