After listenening to a sermon that pastor Elroy ( pastor of our church ) gave one Sunday, I was blown away by just how much God loves you and me! It's incredable. You know in John chapter 17 Jesus prays for us in such a loving and intimate way. He prays for God's will to be done as He goes to the cross to be butchered for our sins. OUR SINS, NOT, HIS...an innocent man, it's surreal. He calls us His own, even though time and time again we disobey and reject His love. Can you imagine, loving someone so much, just to have him/her reject you? Can you imagine, ( if you have kids, if not use your imagination ) sending your little boy or girl to be beat up, slapped in the face, made fun of, and then if that wasn't bad enough already, have him/her nailed to the cross? Can you imagine...how sad and devastating that reality would be, that you had your child be murdered. To have someone who didn't love you back. Yet to give up your life for them anyway. Wow. All I have left to say is...wow...thank-you Jesus, and I'm sorry...so sorry.
