So Lost in Love

"He humbled Himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused His death---death on a cross", (Philippians 2:8).

When human hands nailed Jesus' hands to the cross, it was not the soldiers who held his hands steady.  It was God, His Father, who held the hands of Jesus steady.  Those same hands who built the mountains and formed the oceans; that designed the dawn and crafted each cloud.

Take a stroll out to the hill; out to the cross where, with holy blood, the hand that placed you on the earth wrote the promise, "God would give up His only Son before he would give up on you."

God's Son, who is the radiance of His Father's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by His powerful word, after providing purification for our sins by a bloody death on the cross, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.  He was so lost in love for us that He gave up His entire self...

When God brought His firstborn into the world, He said, "Let all God's angels worship Him.  He makes His angels winds His servants flames of fire.  And to His Son said, Your throne will last forever and ever.  Your Father, has set You above everything, and anointed You with the oil of joy."

We had better pay attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.  For if the message spoken by angels was binding and all disobedience will receive its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation.  He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

For this reason He had to come in the flesh in order that He might become a merciful Savior.  Because He Himself suffered.  He was placed on a Roman cross and as the soldiers began to drive the nails through His hands, His Father reached down and held His hands steady.

God would give up His only son before He would give up on us.  Oh, what love He has for us, I can barley take it all in...  I am so lost for words to express my gratitude, I'm so:

"Lost in Love"

Thank you for the price You paid.  What a priceless gift You gave as You called me into undeserved life with You for eternity.  What a Savior!
