“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” – 1 John 4:10
May we never forget His redeeming love and grace. May we never forget that He wishes for us to share that same love:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” – John 13:34
I was watching “The Passion” last night with my husband. It always grips me, every time. The shock, the fear, the horror, and the doubt that must have run through the minds and hearts of the disciples at the time must have seemed overwhelming. They all believed Him to be the Son of God. But believing in this they also knew He had the power to save Himself. I think they thought it incomprehensible that He did nothing to resist His persecutors. Even though time and time again Jesus had alluded to the type of death He would suffer and that He would rise on the third day, they were in so much grief and sorrow to recall any of it.
Christ bought us with His blood. What amazing love! We are humbled and awed by it. Let us worship and honor Him always.
