God Bankrupted Heaven to Save Us

God bankrupted heaven for me and for you.

You’ve probably heard it said that Jesus left the splendor of heaven to dwell on earth with mere humans.

So when Christ left the heavenly realm, He left behind all that the word splendor reveals: Great fame or glory, great light or luster; brilliance, magnificent appearance, display or grandeur. (Yourdictionary.com)

Still, there’s more. Jesus also left behind a close and intimate fellowship with the rest of the godhead, God the Father and the Holy Spirit. And He left behind those who never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” Revelation 4:8 (ESV)

But He left. And heaven was not the same until He returned.

Jesus left the splendor and spiritual riches of the heavenly realm to come and save us. Heaven was not the same until He returned. And when He saves us, we are never the same. Share on X

Heaven Bankrupted: Jesus Saves

Those daydreams of shining knights coming to save the day and us. The people we hope will swoop in as a hero over our difficult circumstances and life’s unexpected curve balls. They all have cracks in their armor or holes in their capes.

These are our real needs. These are the areas where a true rescue needs to take place. Such as forgiveness, mercy, and grace for sin. Like unconditional love and real peace only found in our Savior.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (ESV)

Jesus saves. He came to die for the salvation of all people; anyone who believes and accepts eternal life.
