Advent December 5
Read John 3:16,17 "For God so loved the world that He have is only
begotten Son that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. For God did
not sent His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world
should be saved through Him."
How can this be?
A man deemed to be insane penned these words on the wall of his prison cell: "Could we with ink the ocean fill; were the whole sky of parchment made. Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade. To write love of God above would drain the ocean dry.; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky."
Wonderful words! But the best description of God's love is found in the message of Christmas and Easter. God sent His Son. The Son, Jesus, died for us and rose again. All who trust in Him have eternal and abundant life now. That message of love will see us through many things.
Oh that we would be demented enough to grasp the greatness of such love. Such faith would see us through many a prison of doubt, worry, fear, discouragement, and resentment. How can God come into our lives and make His home with us? Because of His love.
