To some, it might sound like a cliche, but I promise you the following statement is everything but that. Jesus loves you.
What greater love is there than the love of Jesus Christ? None, absolutely none. Whether you believe it or not, the fact alone that Jesus listened to His father, prayed, and went to die the worst death possible, is enough to make you ready to give your own life.
That's just the thing though, Jesus just asked for our fellowship. Jesus died for a relationship with you and I. All He asks of us is obedience and our love. "Who can fathom this exchange?" I can't.
Even if Jesus just left His death and our salvation there and was done, that would be sufficiently more than enough. However, He does so much more. Daily grace, daily mercies, daily forgiveness, daily fellowship, listening to us daily, fighting our battles daily, interceding for us to the father- daily. So much passion, so much agape love. All of this is for out taking, all of this is for free.
So where does this leave us? In a sea of free, and unending mercy. Encaptured by an unconditional love that casts out all fear. Loved by a Savior who would move mountains for us. Held in the hands of the eternal God. Saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Pursued by the one and only Champion of Heaven.
Now that's something to lift up a shout of praise about.
stay blessed,
rebecca.
