Loophole in God’s design

Right now its about 2 am and I have been thinking about some conversations I have over the past few months. I am trying to gather my thoughts and figure out what I want to say and how to get my point across. I have been thinking a lot about the entirety of Jesus’ purpose here on earth as well as his existence prior to his human form we have come to love. John 1:1 says that the word was God and was with God and the word became flesh. This verse sums up Christ in a sentence. In the beginning the man jesus that died on the cross didn’t fully exist he wasn’t a son with his proud papa when God first spoke the earth into existence – He in fact was that word. He was what created the light and the sun and the stars and ultimately us – humans. He was the word. He was the Law. He was everything God was passionate about he was His heart and soul.
I find it similar to an artist who is watching all of his paintings burn to the ground. As he sees the smoke rise a piece of him dies with those paintings. Those paintings in essence were who he or she was. Or a professor with his life’s work of research. Or maybe even a father who spends every ounce of his energy in his one and only son. Jesus was more than a son – He was the essence of God. He was in fact God in the flesh. Which brings me to my next point. Because God created the law to be broken. Like that phrase all rules are meant to be broken. I firmly believe that the Law of the covenant was in fact set in place to be broken. Not to set us up for failure but to show us our inadequacies. To show us we need God more than we had realized. My high school physics teacher gave us an impossible physics quiz during our first class partially to scare us but mostly to show us how much we had yet to learn. We all failed that quiz the first day but he gave us the quiz at the end of our year and most (I’m sorry to say not all) passed it easily.
God made the law to show us how far we could come I we learned the truth. And the truth will set us free. The truth is that we cannot fulfill the law but God found a loophole in his own design. Imagine that finding a loophole in your own work, unless he had the loophole in place from the very beginning. In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God …then the word became flesh. This flesh encompassed God, Jesus, had the capacity for sin because he was fully human but was also completely incapable of sin because he was fully God. He could be both because humans were created by Gods own image with His own breath and power so in actuality we are all also in essence God in flesh but we are not fully God as Jesus was because we have the capacity of sin – which then separates us from God. Jesus was never separated from God not until he took on sin.
People have this image of Satan gleaming in victory at the sight of Jesus dead on the cross but I believe he had quite the opposite reaction. Jesus death didn’t have to be torturous and didn’t have to be at the hands of men to fulfill the law. Satan used both the torture and the scoffing of the very people he came to save as a last temptation to deny his human self and become only God to escape the physical and emotional pain and thus failing at fulfilling the law. The moment Jesus died was the moment we became free and the moment Satan lost. A human fulfilled the law with absolutely not one blemish. Jesus always had the power to raise from the dead he had the power to come off that cross but He had to die a human death to fulfill his purpose and that’s exactly what he did. All for our sake.
