Human relations can be exhausting work. Whether it is playing with kids, working in customer service, or counseling people stuck in difficult circumstances, there is a certain amount of stress that comes with dealing with people. Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes even really good people make very, very stupid mistakes.
Through human relations, we learn to carry the burden of others. As we learn to communicate with our hearts, we learn to lift others up and support others in difficult circumstances. While this is possible with a few close people, this objective becomes increasingly more difficult with even just a few more people.
Consider then what Jesus did on the cross. Christ put the entire weight of humanities sins on His back. People estimate that somewhere between 50 billion and 100 billion people have been born on this earth to date. Yet Christ died for each and every one of them. Christ put the weight of the sins of 50billion + people on His shoulders. And Christ will continue to offer that, and more, for those who come after us. This might be a problem for future generations if God was limited in power. Thankfully, our God has unlimited power, love and grace.
J.R. miller states, "God is strong, omnipotent. We need not fear that His power to keep us will ever fail. There never is a moment when He is not able to sustain us. When the question is asked, 'From whence shall my help come?' the answer is, 'My help comes from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth!' He who made all the worlds and keeps them all in being - can surely bear up one little human life and protect it from harm
