We see Paul draw attention again to the importance of Jesus coming to be one of us. Jesus coming as a man is significant to His work as our savior. Paul restates and emphasizes that the death of Jesus was in the body of flesh. Jesus gave His real body to reconcile you to God and so that you may be presented before the Lord holy and blameless in Jesus. The only way sinful men can be found not guilty in the sight of the Lord is to be covered with the blood of Jesus. In Jesus you are reconciled to the Lord and to the Lord’s people. This is a major change in who you are. You are no longer hostile and alienated. Now you are reconciled to the one God because the one God came to save you!
