Jesus is the embodiment of God's unyielding, steadfast love, and His affection for us is what drives Him to perform the ultimate act of steadfast love for us in His life, death, and resurrection. Give God praise because He is good; His khesed is eternal!
Then said the Jews, "Behold how He loved him!" - John 11:36 KJV
God's love for humans is very tangible and not concealed. It is open and noticeable. It's a public affair! He does not love us in secret. And because of this, He didn't die for the world in His closet or in a cave somewhere. He was lifted up on the cross and made a public spectacle at Golgotha, so He could prove His love for man. He was bartered, bruised, humiliated, embarrassed, not because He wanted to but because He loves us. Love demanded that He act!
When Jesus got to Lazarus' grave, the Bible says Jesus began to groan in the spirit and then wept afterwards. When the Jews saw Him weeping, they were amused and said, "See how He loved him!"
God's love for His children is still a wonder to the world, and even to angels (1 Peter 1:12). After all that you did? Is God still able to love you? The answer is yes!
I believe that God's display of love for you still astonishes angels today. They may be saying, "See how God loves him. See how God loves her: See how He's concerned about them. See how He's moved when they are in trouble. See how He blesses their lives. See how He lavishes them with His mercies! See! See!"
Beloved, if you only knew how much God loves you, you would not walk in guilt not even for one moment. You would not condemn or pity yourself. If you knew how much God loves you, you would always rush back to Him whenever you fall. David said he would rather fall into the hands of the Lord, for His mercies are great (1 Chronicles 21:13). So, when you fall, don't run away from God, run to God. #runtoGod #tangibleloveofGod #graceofGod
