Finally, that wonderful verse which is about Christ. Paul’s purpose is to thank God for the incarnation.
What will happen at the end of life if we have rejected such a one? If we cross the threshold as unsaved people, then, apart from the terror we feel, there will be a sense of shame, of foolishness. What a fool I was. I was a sinner but that would not have stopped me for he is gracious. Salvation was freely offered to me by God. His invitation to me was genuine. If I had responded I could have had this free gift with others have received. How did I come to this place? Among those who are shut out of heaven will be people who are highly intelligent, but they were blind to the gospel and they will be crushed.
