paraphrase version: God loves YOU. Jesus DIED for YOU. we are not worth it, but His love convinced Him otherwise.
this truth is often stated and way too often ignored, pushed aside, and marked as "we don't need to hear that anymore." but we DO need to hear it over and over again as a reminder that even though we are worth less than dirt, the Creator of this universe loves us more than we can even imagine.
this is what Phud talked about at Remedy yesterday. He told us we are considered HOLY and BLAMELESS before God. all i could pray was, "no way, God!!! no way!!!"
in front of us was a family with a very distracting baby. the mother was holding her as she wiggled and chattered, but when i looked at the dad, he was completely mesmorized by the Gospel. as Phud preached the straight Gospel that Jesus died and rose, this father's jaw was dropped and i don't think he even noticed his child making such a distraction. this is what the Gospel should do to us. it should mesmorize us so we don't even notice distractions. we should stand in awe of God and the truth of all He did out of love for us.
