We are going through an incredible book in the Journey Class at church - Unlimiting God by Richard Blackaby. The more I read the book the more I am getting to know who God is; and yet at the same time the more I realize how much more there is to know of God.
This morning we talked about God's immeasurable love for us. His love is truly amazing and beyond what the human mind can grasp. The Bible says that as God loves His Son, Jesus, that Jesus loves us on that same level (John 15:9). The familiar verse John 3:16 say "For God SO loved the world..." I like the word "so". It puts even an extra emphasis on the depth of His love.
If you click the title of the post you will be directed to a video clip from the Passion movie. It is only about 5 minutes long. This reminds me of His love. It is hard to not be moved watching the video because I know it was my sins that He had to do what He did. He did it because He wants me to hang out with Him... forever. There had to be a price paid for my mistakes. In seeing the video, you see how awesome love is but you will also see how ugly the cost of sin is.
My sins are numerous... I am so thankful for the Father's love that says to me "What sin?" I don't understand it and never will, but thank God for what He did. I pray that I will never take for granted what it cost.
