Heavenly Father
He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything. Romans 8:32
You could be suspicious of a Father who allows His Son to die on a cross for all humanity, especially if you are a parent. I remember, as a young mum, reading this and clutching my children to me in horror. I am sorry to say it but to me you were not worth that sacrifice but to Him you were.
The Father knew more than we do. He knew the power of the Spirit in Christ and knew He would not remain dead but would accomplish the deeper magic, as C.S. Lewis put it in the Tales of Narnia.
The perfect, sinless sacrifice was the price required for sin and when it was paid it was paid for all mankind, for all time. Amen!
So, if the 'deeper magic' was a part of the plan, was there more?
Yes! Oh Yes!
We weren't set free from sins clutches and then left hanging. We are invited in to the presence of the Father, into a relationship with Him.
A relationship speaks of permanence and that is what we have. Each morning I can run to Him and know He has been waiting to see me and hear my voice.
Back to me being a mum. When my children were little I looked forward to hearing " mumee!" Every morning, every, every morning.
If I, a mere human who would not give my children for you can do that imagine a Heavenly Father who did. Run to Him, give Him time! Amen!
