More Joy in Heaven ~

You know what is amazing ? When someone you have loved and prayed for - one of whom you sinned with previously - comes to see the truths of God.
That there IS forgiveness, and you can tell that they are repentant toward God.
I'm on the edge of tears of joy this afternoon (and probably will be the rest of my day) as I just had lunch with just such a person....One that I've prayed for - who has known me IN MY sin - has come to realize that God forgives......... and more importantly, that he needs to be forgiven.

My deepest desire is that he will see and truly perceive - that Jesus is the treasure - the precious innocent Lamb - the one who took the punishment for our sins. There is definitely something going on that is not of the world in this man - and after talking to him -
I am left again, marveling about how I've been "kept" lately........through trials, in spite of sin and failures, some that I can't even see.............what kind of God are we talking about here??!!
dang.
Is there any human on earth that would go and put themselves in the electric chair - in the place of a proven guilty - child molester ?? Well, our sin, our lust, pride, lack of love etc - are ALL high treason against the God who created us, and He Himself came in human flesh as a baby, grew up was tempted in every way that we are as we grew up - yet was blameless - completely perfect - without sin - and having compassion on us, took our death penalty.....crushing the power of sin and death......

Christology - the most precious of the doctrines.......

love Him today ~
In Christ because He first loved me,
