Experiencing Jesus Together Through Lent

DAY 11 OF 40

Day 11:

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

A Call To: Reflect
Love is more than a noun. It’s more appropriately a verb. Love is demonstrated by an action. Love is not primarily an emotion, though the world emphasizes the feelings of love.

“But God demonstrates”. He puts His love in very concrete, even unbelievable terms. A righteous and holy God created us in His image. But mankind chose to go his own way and made a big mess of things. While we were in that unattractive state, He actually DIED for us, voluntarily laying down His life that we might be restored to our holy and righteous God.

Reflection

What would motivate the all-powerful creator to stoop to this planet and actually die a painful, humiliated death for awful, terrible, rebellious sinners?

What do you want to say to Jesus?

Praise + Prayer

Dear Jesus, I can’t even begin to comprehend such unconditional, extravagant love. You didn’t just think it, or feel it, You actually showed it in the way you died on the cross. I’m humbled and grateful. Thank You, Jesus. Amen
