"Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love", (Ephesians 3:19).
Knowing God and knowing His love for you, is so important in becoming a child of the King... Now you find yourself separated from His love. Even through the storms of life; even through the darkest night, love has come to rescue you. You no longer have to be bound by chains of guilt and shame. A new day has begun when you find life. It wasn't right that spikes pierced the hands that formed the earth, or was forced to hear the silence of His Father. God sat in silence while the sins of the world were placed upon His Son, and He did nothing while a cry a million times bloodier than John echoed in the black sky: " My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Was it right? No.
Was it fair? No.
Was it love? Yes.
When the work of Christ was done on the cross, the veil of the Temple was torn from top to bottom indicating man no longer was separated from God. Know that all of us who were baptized into Christ, just as He was raised from the dead through the Glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
So, by now dying to what once bound you, you have been released from sin so that you may serve in the new way of the Spirit.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth. I once was bound in sin and death staring me in the face, now I am once released and reconciled by the blood of the Lamb who takes away my sin and loves me forever.
