EPHESIANS 1:7-8 – In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
ROMANS 6:23; 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9; GALATIANS 2:21

       “For my power is made perfect in weakness.” To me that is very powerful. I’ve asked myself many times why God had to sacrifice His son, let Him suffer, for the sake of so many undeserving people. I mean, He’s God, He could have done anything He wanted and saved His son the misery. I know if someone started to tell me they were going to put my son or loved one through hell I’d be ready to fight! But God just says, yeah sure, let’s kill Him, hang Him on the cross, and watch Him suffer. That seems so weak to me for a father to do that. Can you imagine loving a people so much that you would sooner see the death of your perfect child as to millions of undeserving people?  I cannot! But we are saved because of His perfect love. His power is made perfect in weakness.

Prayer

Jesus, thank you for paying for my sin debt. Help me to share your love with all the people I bump into.

Thoughts: 
God loves us more than my mind can fathom, or understand. We should want to be obedient to Him not lean on our own insights and try to spread that love, His love, throughout our families, friends, communities, states, nations, and on to the world because we all are His chosen people if we accept His free gift of salvation.
