The past few days, I have been thinking about Jesus..about the price He paid for each of us. It amazes me.
He chose to leave a beautiful place, that was so comfortable. He came here. He came here to bring love.
That thought changes everything. He didn’t come to yell at us about all of the things that we do wrong. He didn’t come to bring judgement. He came here so that the judgement that was going to be upon us, would end up resting on HIM. Whoa.
My heart is changing, as I ponder this. As i ponder this verse: ” For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, BUT to save the world through Him. ” ( john 3:17)
This challenges me to not be so quick to judge. This challenges me to choose love. to choose Him.
He chose us. He bore all of my wrongs. That is the purest love I will ever know.
As Easter approaches, My prayer for everyone and for myself , is that we would embrace Him. Embrace His love.
I have also been thinking, If He ( who is perfect) did not come to judge, then I should not be so quick to judge as well.
” Lord, let us choose love, even in the midst of a world filled with hatred. ”
Another verse that comes to my mind is the one that says ” Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. ”
May we imitate Him in the way that He always chose love, not judgement.
