Today’s Devotional…
On that cross at Golgotha in Calvary, hung God Almighty Himself in the body of the man Jesus Christ, with only one assignment in mind: to reconcile the world BACK to Himself. This is one of the greatest mysteries in time.
While mainstream religion projects that man lost his relationship with God and so had to work very hard to win God’s trust once again, God in the verse above had so missed communion with man that He humbled Himself into human form just to reconcile man back to Himself by Himself! Ponder…
While man was still as lost as he was the day Adam fell, and not knowing what to do to save himself from sin, God, who is all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful, stepped up and rescued Himself from loneliness by reconciling man to Himself for communion. Ponder for a moment…
It was God’s love for the world that motivated Him to bring Himself down to a shameful death on a cross amongst lost humans, just to save man and reconcile man to Himself.
It was not man’s desperation that brought about the great reconciliation between God and man, but it was God’s frustration and loneliness that did. Ponder deep…
Listen, God loves you way more than you could ever imagine, and far more than you could ever love Him back.
Seeing how much God loves you and to what extent He went just to bring you back into communion with Himself, it is only but NATURAL to reciprocate with love. Ponder…
May the Holy Spirit open the eyes of your understanding to see how God really loves you so that you may become awakened to the eternal fellowship with Him, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
