Sandusky, Occupy Wall Street, Earthquakes. These are just some of the many troubling things that come across our news lately. While I’m sure in Jesus’ time they weren’t marching on Wall Street, the world was not without turmoil. Yet, He voluntarily left His wonderful Heaven, where things are perfect, and came down for us sinners. Why would He do that?
Love. A love we couldn’t even begin to imagine was there for us, and Jesus did what He had to do to save us, and give us an eternity of wonderful that we don’t deserve. And He didn’t just come down for a day, say hello, and head on back up to heaven. No, He stayed on this earth, teaching those around Him, and then allowed us to crucify Him in a horrible, painful death, because of love.
There is no greater love, friends. What happens next is up to us; will you serve the Lord who left perfection for you? Will you love as He did? Get ready to celebrate His coming…He came for you!
“Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!” Psalm 25:7
