As I sit on my sofa late at night, I think about the absolute absurdity that is God's love.
Think about it.
God himself, the Triune Creator, who forged the heavens, the earth, stars, hummingbirds, taste buds, sex, human emotions and the intricacies of the human body, humbled himself by becoming nothing, a mere human, that he might die, bearing our iniquity in a divine, sufficient transaction: our sin, for his righteousness.
How is that fair? When could that ever be labelled as fair? I, Cody, a sinner just like everyone reading this blog, who for so long has ridiculed the God of the Bible by disobeying His commands every single day and turning away from his supremacy and sufficiency and to my own sinful desires. But that is not the end of the matter. I have been reconciled to God. And this not of my doing. It is a gift of God, so that I may not boast.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Praise God forever for His abounding, steadfast, reckless, exemplary, joyful, sobering, miraculous love. May we never, ever neglect the cross, but when we do, may God swiftly bring us back to the foot of the tree on which our dear Saviour died.
