In Luke 22:20, the Lord Jesus tells His disciples the blood required to ratify the New Covenant will be His own… Out of the thousands of religions in the world, only in Christianity is the god sacrificed! Staggering thought, isn’t it?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Here are a few other examples illustrating how God’s thinking is so very much different than ours:
- Would a man come up with a plan to conquer a city by shouts and trumpet blasts? Read about the walls of Jericho falling down in Joshua, chapter 6.
- Would a man think the best way to preserve someone’s family during a famine was to have his favorite son betrayed, beaten, sold into slavery, and imprisoned? Read about Joseph and his brothers in Genesis, chapters 37-50.
- Would a man tell the tale of an animal that speaks and expect it to be taken as truth? Read about Balaam and his talking donkey in Numbers 22:22-41.
These examples, and many more, form substantial evidence that the Bible was not conceived in the minds of men. For indeed, God’s ways are not our ways. Only in Christianity is the god sacrificed!
