Our sin-problem required more than a quick fix, a band-aid over a scrape. Nothing less than a perfect Substitute - someone who could take our punishment - would do.
So God sent His Son.
Not just to be born in humble circumstances, but ultimately to die a cruel, humiliating death. For our sakes.
A friend recently shared this thought: "We can give without loving, but we cannot love without giving."
John 3:16 echoes that truth. God loved...so He gave.
His love would not allow Him to remain passive. He gave us the gift that cost everything, when we deserved nothing - nothing good, that is.
Now it can all be ours. Hope. Love. Forgiveness. Freedom. Purpose. Belonging. A warm, real, close relationship with Him that pulses with the beat of every moment.
Thank You, Lord, for this amazing grace-gift You gave us!!
