Belonging.

Hi All,
How much do you love those that you love? Kids, parents, siblings, friends: they all have a place in our heart that causes us to do things we wouldn't do for a stranger, even from our own culture.
Why then, did Christ come to give His life for all of us? Would you give up your very life for your family, let alone an evil stranger from another culture? No. But that's the point! Christ was the only one who could do such a thing, and so He was accepted in the eyes of the God of perfection, his father.
