The Great Rescue

By ShareWord

You’re part of a great rescue story. Did you know that? 

The story’s long. Like, really long. If you can imagine a winding timeline that curls across a sheet of paper, your birthday is in the bottom right corner. And way over on the top left of the sheet is a dot called “Creation.” 

This isn’t a regular timeline. This one traces a dramatic tale of rescue that includes warriors, rulers and prophets—all just the welcoming party to the greatest hero of them all. 

And the knowledge that you’ve got a spot on this incredible timeline can change your perspective on everything. 

Your story is part of God’s story, the one that began when He created a perfect world and then shaped us in His image. Creative. Passionate. Intelligent. Strong. Beautiful human beings in a beautiful world full of wonder. 

It was a great beginning and the future was bright—but then we did what we always do. We messed everything up. We rebelled. We chose “me” instead of “He” and severed our relationship with our incredible Creator. 

Our selfishness was immediately incompatible with His holiness. We’d lifted ourselves onto the throne and put God’s crown on our own heads—resulting in separation and brokenness from the God who’d breathed life into us. 

But, remarkably, instead of handing us the punishment we deserved, God chose another way. He made the first move to reconciliation. 

That’s when the great rescue plan was hatched.

God’s plan took thousands of years to work itself out. His goal was to solve the problem He knew we would never be able to fix ourselves. Our sin—making ourselves God—demanded payment in blood. But only the blood of a perfect person would truly pay for our sin. 

So God formed a nation, called Israel, through whom He would one day send Jesus to be born. As He shaped the nation, He gave them His laws to teach them how to live. But it was also to show them how they would never be good enough—no matter how hard they tried. 

Then Jesus came. And He lived with us. Taught us. Loved us. Shed His blood for us. Died for us. And then conquered death for us. 

He rescued us—from what we deserved because of our sin. 

God saw you from where He stood at the beginning of time—when humanity had already spoiled His perfect creation—and loved you enough to put a rescue plan in motion.

Doesn’t that change your perspective on the day ahead of you?
