He loved us too much to stay

He loved us too much to stay on His throne in heaven, so they laid Him in a manger in Bethlehem instead.

He loved us too much to stay at the parade on Palm Sunday, so they laid Him on a cross on Good Friday instead.

He loved us too much to stay on the cross of Calvary, so they laid Him in a rich man’s tomb instead.

He loved us too much to stay in the tomb, so He came back to life instead!

He loved us too much to stay here confined in a human body, so He returned His throne in heaven!

“Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”  Romans 8:34b
