May the mumbling commence!
How much does God care about us? The Lord cares about us enough not to mess around. We are in need, and God does not count the costs. God does not seek out the least amount that will save us. God goes for the jugular… takes the bull by the horns… tackles the task head on. Read from Romans chapter eight (Peterson’s The Message paraphrase):
God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn’t deal with the problem as something remote and unimportant. In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once for all. The law code, weakened as it always was by fractured human nature, could never have done that. (Verses 3-4)
God laid it all on the line for you and me. Our Creator was not afraid of getting dirty. The Lord, through Jesus, entered the mess of humanity that we call home so that things could finally be set right – once for all. I guess, there’s that principle – if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. That’s what God did for us.
And we reap the benefits of being made whole in the presence of our God.
Praise God!
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
