“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16&17
Standing in my kitchen yesterday, God began to reveal to me how deep his love is for mankind. I think that sometimes the depth and complexity of God can only be revealed through deep pain. My husband has been under severe attack this week. He was terminated at work under false and outlandish accusations. A former employee told him this week that based off of his observations this week that it looks like my husband was set up. As I was dealing with the raw emotion of rage that my husband was plotted against, unjustly accused, and had no chance to defend himself, God reminded me of Christ and that he too was plotted against, falsely accused, beaten, and killed. For our sake, he did not defend himself but instead became a sacrifice for us so that we could once again be reconciled to God. That is love!
