We never could have come up with this on our own. We like to think we have good ideas. We like to think that our plans are the best plans. We take credit for the good things that happen in our lives. But we’re wrong. “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). We never could have come up with God’s plan on our own.
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son? Yes! God became a human being to save us? Yes! Jesus died on a cross for our sins? Yes! Jesus rose again and gives forgiveness and eternal life as a gift to all who believe? Yes! There is hope for sinners like you and me? Yes! God is with us every single day? Yes! We’re going to live forever in heaven by God’s grace? Yes! It sounds inconceivable. Unbelievable. But it’s true! We never could have thought this up on our own. God’s plan is so much better than ours.
