Why Bother?
BUSPA'S CORNER
While
waiting at school for my grandchildren, I overhear a conversation between some mothers.Planning the Christmas dinners, shopping for presents, the never ending round of Christmas drinks and functions, then suddenly it is all over. Presents are unwrapped at the speed of light, leaving torn paper across the floor. Lunch that takes weeks to plan, hours to prepare, is suddenly a pile of dirty dishes.
Why bother?
As we think of Emmanuel, God with us, we need to be reminded that Jesus is and always was God’s PLAN A. When we read John
1 and Colossians 1:15, it is very clear that Jesus was a part of the Godhead during Creation. He has always been and was
not God’s PLAN B when Adam and Eve sinned.
When we look at the creation and the wonderful way God sustains life and
think of intricate planning that God put into our creation we could also ask the same question –

Why bother?
God, knowing the end from the beginning, knew that sinfulness would mar His creation. He knew that there would be a time
when Jesus would leave the Godhead to live on earth as a human. He knew that there would be a horrible period when Jesus
would be separated from the Godhead as He paid the required penalty for our sin.
Why Did God bother?
Because He loves us so much that He gave His Son so that we might believe, and be able to spend eternity with Him. (Read
John 3:16)
Thank God that He bothered to plan creation, and sustains creation; that He loves each of us and initiated an amazing, gracious plan so that all who believe will spend eternity with Him.
Thank you God, because you did bother.
