Seeing God
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:17 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
How do you view/see God? Do you see Him as someone looking for a way to condemn you? Do you see Him as an out-of-touch old man who doesn’t really know what it’s like in our modern world? Do you see Him as too holy to soil himself with the concerns of mere mortals and so has left it up to us to work everything out for ourselves? Do you see Him as a wrathful judgmental & punishment wielding God just waiting for you to mess up? I pray that your answers were No, No, NO & NO!
No, God is a loving Father, who is Love in it’s finest form! God chose to enter our world and experience it from the side of mortality. He chose to experience everything that we would, so that He could be our example of how to deal with the circumstances. God chose to enter our world, not to condemn us, or it, but to redeem us and it. Jesus is the great reminder that it is God’s desire that we all be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth in Him. God doesn’t have to judge us, we were judged already in Jesus. Thank God for God! Thank God for Jesus who was and is God with us, the Word made flesh. Thank God that Jesus (God made flesh) came and paid the price for ALL of humanity’s sin once for ALL!
MY PRAYER…
Holy and Heavenly Father, thank You that You live with those who are contrite and repentant and who long for Your presence. You know we are only mortal, but You love us. You know that we are flawed, but You redeemed us through Jesus. You know that we are not perfect, but You sent Jesus as the perfect sacrifice to not only save us, but to provide for all that we would ever require. Thank You that Jesus bore not only my sins, but my sickness, my disease, my poverty, my bondage, my fear, and all else that was not of You. I thank You that I have been made the righteousness of God, not because of me, but through Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Through my Lord and Savior I offer my sincerest gratitude and praise and I offer myself a living sacrifice unto You.
Amen
