Matthew 27 -- IF God Really WANTS Him
"The leading priests, the teachers of the law, and the older Jewish leaders were also making fun of Jesus [on the cross]. They said .... "He trusts in God, so let God save Him now, if God really wants Him." How that sent
"The leading priests, the teachers of the law, and the older Jewish leaders were also making fun of Jesus [on the cross]. They said .... "He trusts in God, so let God save Him now, if God really wants Him."
How that sentence must have caused God's heart to ache! His Son was dying on the cross for the sins of all mankind, and the very people who were tasked to share the light of God's truth with the world were mocking Him. Had my son been up there, and had I possessed the power to do so, I would have selfishly saved him and told this selfish and sinful world that, for that remark, they'd just lost their one and only chance to find forgiveness from their abominable actions and thoughts. But I'm not God, and thank goodness I'm not. For His love for me, sins and all, exceeded His love for His own Son. He willingly let His own Son die so that I might have life!
"If God really wants Him ..." Truth is, He wanted them more - and me ... and you.
Father, I don't know how You could love me so much. I don't know how ... I'm sure glad You did, though. Forgive me for breaking Your heart in this lifetime. Such love ... such love!
