The why

After Galatians 4:4-7 

We complicate this

unnecessarily and

expend huge energies 

upon asking why. And

it’s simple, really,

which we with

our human hearts and 

minds believe is

insufficient, too simple,

not enough, and

lacking. We don’t like

the idea of a simple

answer to the question

of why:

why did he come?

Answer: to bear

our burdens, redeem

the condemned, and

make us heirs.

He paid the price.
