We're going to look at another truth of His amazing love for us today, in that He died for us when we most definitely did not deserve it (Romans 5:8).
"Yes, I'm gonna bleed for this love."
"Bleed For This Love" by downhere
To put a blunt point on it, fellow Christian, we deserve nothing short of hell and death and damnation. We are awful, fickle, wretched things, in and of ourselves. It is Christ in us who blesses us with the grace that we NEED, and because of that grace, we are able to commune with the Father. Without that grace, we are nothing... less than nothing. And He loved us so much that He came and bore the punishment for us all (Isaiah 53:5) and died carrying our sins (1 Peter 2:24), even though He was BLAMELESS! Just like yesterday's song, I will ask if there is any being or creature you can name that has done anything even remotely similar to that for you...
This is why we serve... this is why we bow... it is not out of terror or cowering or kowtowing to someone wielding power. It is out of awe-inspired respect for a love that passes all understanding, and is literally unbelievable! We don't think often about just how difficult it is to believe that He could love us that much, and yet He does, and more so than we can possibly fathom! He bled and died, once for all, and rose again to conquer sin and death and hell itself. Among all the miracles shown to humanity, none compare to this miraculous love that shines to and through us still today.
Put simply, He served in my place and yours for my sins and yours, past, present and future, and He took upon the weight of all our iniquities to redeem us and reconcile us back to the Father from whence we came. For that reason, I will forever take a knee and serve in whatever capacity He asks of me.
Remember: I'm gonna bleed for this love.
God bless you all!!!
