A Body To Offer
     
"That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, 'You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer.'" Hebrews 10:5 (NLT)
 
The Son of God had to be manifested in the flesh, for He had to have a physical body to offer to God. The animal sacrifices that had been offered in the past could never take away the sins of people, but when Jesus offered His body as a sacrifice the debt was settled for man's sin. The body that the Son of God possessed was not truly who He was, for He was, and is forever, eternal. But, He was given that body by God, and was given a choice to offer it to God as a sacrifice.
 
God has given us each an earthly body; a body that is temporal and will not last forever. But, who we truly are will go on, for our spirit is eternal. Just like Jesus was given a choice to offer the body God gave Him back to God, so we have a similar choice to make. We must choose to offer our body, and all that is housed within it, to God as a living sacrifice. Or, we can choose to keep it for ourselves, doing what pleases us, and gratifying our desires of the flesh. Either way, the choice is ours to make! As we take into consideration all God has done for us, and we understand who and what we truly are, it becomes a much easier choice to make. I encourage you to offer yourself to God! Trust Him with all you are, and allow your life to be offered up as a living sacrifice, which brings glory to God daily!
 
"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him." Romans 12:1 (NLT)
