Think about it: Jesus, the Son of God, with a face radiating like the sun, eyes blazing, who speaks words like a double edged sword, able to pierce the deepest thoughts of the hearts of men, who is the Word that spoke everything into existence, who is the one holding all authority on heaven and earth, who is worshiped by angels and saints in glory non-stop, who alone is worthy of all blessing, glory, thanksgiving, power honor, and might, if anyone deserves to be loved and blessed by God, it was He.
But instead of staying in His heavenly abode, Christ became one of us, living a good life fulfilling God's statues and commandments that no one was and is able to keep. Willingly becoming sin on our behalf, as an offering to pay for our enmity towards God, crushed by His own Father, taking on the wrath of God on wretched sinners' behalf, and pouring out the righteousness He earned to cover our shame.
On the third day He rose again, later ascending into heaven, making intercession and prayer for the saints.
"Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."
99% (I made up this stat) of Scripture tells us to look at this Lamb, verses that tell us how to live our lives comes after those that tells us of His glory
