For the Sake of You...

 I Peter 1:20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Christ has been around forever. He is the Eternal God the Son.  God had decided long ago - before His creation of the world, that He was going to reveal Himself and His plan to man. But when Christ came at His incarnation all the pieces came together.  Peter could say to his readers, including us, that Christ did this for the sake of you who through him are believers in God. Peter ties together the Incarnation with the Resurrection and Ascension as a package deal, a wonderful gift from God. With that Gift, we have faith and hope that will never disappoint.
