How He Loves Us

God truly is amazing...He truly loves us more than we can imagine! When I think about what Jesus gave...about what he went through..about the anguish in the garden...about the suffering...about the shame...about the beatings and ultimately the point of our Salvation...the Cross...WOW...how HE loves US! We are currently going through a series at VL titled " How Good is Good Enough". Over the past weeks we have been discussing the point of God being Fair and Just. Is it fair and just that Good People don't go to heaven? Is God fair? Is God just? What do you think? Ultimately He is...was it fair and just that God had to give his only begotten son...to leave the Majesty of the throne of heaven...to take on human form and then to die on a cross? Yes...because something had to happen...something had to be given...something had to take our place...something had to be paid in order to redeem us of our sins. The point is...all of us fall short of the glory of God...none of us are good enough! However, because of Jesus and if we choose to believe and receive this free gift we can have eternal life! That is the Awesome and Great Love of our GOD! He gave his only son....O how HE loves US!

Yesterday at VL we did a song titled "How He Loves Us" and as we lead this song Brian Keith Daniel a Visual Worship Artist painted on a canvas and it was Awesome! A great worship visual that added to our environment. Check out the link to Brian's website.

Peace...
