And thank you, God...Thank you, Lord Jesus, indeed. And thank you, God, for your amazing love for us.<br /><br />The line out of this chapter that always brings me up short is this:<br /><br />"But the Lord was pleased<br />To crush Him, putting Him to grief;"<br /><br />Can we even imagine a love that, should we crush our one and only offspring, it would bring us pleasure? The only thing that can explain it is God's love for us, knowing the result of that crushing is our salvation.<br /><br />Amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
