I read about a grandfather who found his grandson jumping up and down in his playpen, crying at the top of his voice. When Johnnie saw his grandfather, he reached up his little chubby hands and said, “Out, Gramps, out.”
It was only natural for the grandfather to reach down to lift him out of his predicament, but as he did the mother of the child stepped up and said, “No, Johnnie, you are being punished---so you must stay in.”
The grandfather was at a loss to know what to do. The child’s tears and chubby hands reached deep into his heart. But the mother’s firmness in correcting her son must not be taken lightly; but love found a way. The grandfather could not take the grandson out of the playpen, so he climbed in with him. Beloved that is what our Lord Jesus Christ did for us at the cross. In leaving heaven for earth He climbed in with us. The Bible says, “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
