Written by Divinah Nyabera, a contemporary writer.  

After his fall from the Garden of Eden, man was condemned to death. God, in His fullness of love and mercy, set out a plan to save, redeem, and exalt the fallen humankind…Jesus left the glory of heaven to die so that man could be saved.  Jesus preached the gospel to the poor, healed the brokenhearted, set the captives free, and caused the blind to see and the lame to walk. Love, mercy, and compassion were His way of life. He became a man that He might reach man’s needs. Jesus on His earthly journey always spoke the truth, but in love. He was never rude, nor did He utter a severe word to a sensitive soul… It was in His mission to save humankind that Jesus lived, suffered, and died. God permitted His beloved son to come down from the Heavenly glory to a sinful world darkened with the shadow of death. The son of God took upon Himself the burden of sin. He felt a separation from His father in heaven. The burden of sin broke the heart of the son of God. God made this great sacrifice because of the great love for man. His begotten son was the medium through which He could pour His infinite love for fallen humankind … The agony of Gethsemane, the death on Calvary, the heart of infinite love, paid the price of salvation…What matchless love!

For God loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life [ John 3:16]
