“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.”1 John 4:9 NLT
Jesus told parables about His own coming and rejection to show those who opposed Him that God saw and would repay. Yet they refused to listen and chose rather to crucify Him to be done with the truth He represented. Today, persecution of the church is happening worldwide becuase men love darkness rather than the light.
Yet, the joy that awaits us all as we come to see and understand that God does love us, even in our sinful state. The crazy thing was, this love drove The Father to send His Son to show us what He was really like, and that His Son would give His life to save us from our sins. I say He gave His life as twice we are told of how He avoided those who took hold of Him. He had the power to refuse the cross, but He knew that by His death a perfect sacrifice would be made for sin. His sacrifice set us free from the hopelessness we found ourselves in, and brought us back into a relationship with the Father.
Praise God many are coming to Jesus in this day, praise God many are those who once persecuted the truth. Keep praying! Keep sharing your faith! Amen!
