One or Two Wonders, What is the Difference?
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
This is the foundation for the song Two Wonders by Worldview. You can see it directly in the bridge:
For Scarcely For A Righteous Man Will
One Die
Yet Perhaps For A Good Man
Some Would Even Dare To Die.
But God Commends His Love Toward Us,
In That, While We Were Yet Sinners,
Christ Died For Us.
This is something that is common; the idea is around so much
that we can start to ignore it. Let’s look at the chorus to see if we can find
more to contemplate:
Two Wonders I Confess
The Wonder Of Redeeming Love
And My Unworthiness
Yet You Still Died For Me
Here we see the two wonders. The unfathomable love and the
garbage that is humanity. Things that should never mix. We will never
understand how to love someone that only acts like they hate you. Someone so
dark and worthless, we would never just give them everything.
My Sinful Self My Only Shame
My Glory All The Cross
Would you openly take the place of a prisoner on death row? Yet at times we forget the magnitude of what has been done for us.
Let’s look at the chorus of another song, Wonder by DreamQuest
Many times I wonder why you
Stretched across the cross for me
Your life for my life, now I live to give you glory
I do not deserve it your concern remains a mystery
This song is sung to raise up your name in majesty
Whether you want to look at this as two wonders or simplify it down to one, spend some time thinking through the power behind this act and rejoice in it; without it what joy would we have to live for?
