His love is big, deep, and great.

I was reading a book earlier in which a preacher was going to do a sermon about the Messiah coming. I started thinking about when the Messiah was coming and wondered what people thought. Sure, there were those who didn't believe.... then there were those who thought Jesus was just a good man. There were also those who wanted Him dead....but then there were those who fully believed and followed Him.

What about those who believed He was coming? Did they fully understand what it meant - Jesus coming for us and dying for us? Did they understand what it meant for God to send His ONLY son to live just like we live? Did they understand how big, how deep, how great His love must be for us to do such a thing? Did they understand what it meant for Him to die for our sins? Did they know that all this would change our lives? Make our lives better?

I'm not sure even the believers, who had such strong faith, who followed Him without questioning, without doubting - could even fully KNOW how great, how life changing all those things are. God sent His son...His only son to die for us. I know that I couldn't imagine allowing or sending someone I love so much to die for someone else. But Jesus loves us that much! He loves the whole world...all His children of this world so much that He sent His only son to die to show us that love. He sent Him to die for our sins so we could be free, so we could live a life that glorifies Him, so we could live our lives to the fullest. That love....is so much more bigger, so much deeper, so much greater then we will ever be able to comprehend.

His love is bigger, deeper, and greater than the ocean. That love is so big and so amazing that I cannot fathom it and I love that.... I love that I cannot comprehend it because that means I always have to draw closer to Him to even get a glimpse of His love.

Thank you God for loving me.
