Yes how awesome is our God! He was willing to come to this earth, to be criticised, rejected, despised, abandoned, to suffer pain, grief, and disappointments and brutally killed to reach out to us to show us there's nothing that we go through, that He hasn't experienced too! What kind of Love is this? Wow! And he did it for us - because we are His Dream!! The Joy set before Him. That's us!! So we say thank you Lord. 😊 x
It's the willingness that's the game changer isn't it. Jesus wasn't a martyr but a willing sacrifice. He went "for the joy set before him" (Hebrews 12:2)... and that's us! So we shouldn't look at the cross and feel sorry for an innocent victim, but rejoice in a loving saviour!
