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 the heavenlies.
