1 John 4:10The Voice (VOICE)
10 This is the embodiment of true love:
not that we have loved God first, but that He loved us and sent His unique Son on
a special mission to become an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
This is supposedly the month of Love, February with Valentine’s
day and the beautiful flowers and chocolates and promises of love and all the affection
of this world. As I think of all of this
it reminds me of something more precious and more spectacular.
Looking down from heaven the angels and God are in
conversation about the world that is lost and struggling to survive a difficult
and dark time. God looks at the angels
and His son and they discuss the plight of the world. A saviour is needed to help a people in
difficult times. The first Adam slipped
up and now the sin of man is spreading like a virus that can only be stopped by
the blood of another Adam.
The maiden Mary has given birth to the Lord Jesus, life on
earth will never be the same again. The
child is beautiful and both Mary and Joseph love the Lord Jesus. As time progresses other children are also
born to the carpenter and his wife.
Jesus looks like a normal child but in his 12th year he
starts to stand out from his peers. The
love of the Father God is upon Jesus and He is showing it to all around
Him.
Love is a natural phenomenon and the Lord Jesus just has
this ability and when He is around people they are naturally drawn to Him. Mary love’s Jesus really and she adores her
son and watches Him and listens to what He says.
A sad time befalls the family of Joseph and Mary their Son
Jesus Christ is being crucified. Mary’s
heart is broken and she follows Him from the courts to the hill on which He is
too die.
They bury Jesus and a huge stone is rolled in front of his tomb. On their arrival that the tomb they find a
young man dressed in white sitting on the right side of the tomb, ‘are you looking
for Jesus?’ He asks them. Nodding they look frightened and worried. He tells them not to be afraid and to take
heart the Lord Jesus is risen from the dead.
His alive! They run out with fear
and anxiety not sure what to make of this new.
He is a live!
The love of our Lord is so great we cannot know how
difficult it must have been to watch and see His only begotten son die on a
cross for mortal man.
Thank You Abba Father, in Jesus Name.
