His Son.

I don't think you have to have a child to understand God's giving of his only son, Jesus. I do think you need to have a grasp of unconditional love though. You have to understand a love that is a part of your own being. You have to be able to have loved someone so much that you can't imagine life without them.

God doesn't have to imagine it...he lost his child. First he lost(gave) him to the world, then to the suffering of the cross, and then to the grave. I'll admit it freely. I don't have that much love in my heart for someone that is not part of me. If you were to come to me and say, "Kevin, if you give one of your daughters up for separation, suffering, and death we can save all of humanity from the beginning of time until the end." There wouldn't be a thousandth of a second pass before "NO" would pass over my lips. Forget it. We wouldn't be here. But, praise God, I am not God!

What a love, to give your only child to save a people that would reject you time and time again. God's love is pure. That's how he did it. God's love is not filled with selfish want, hidden motives, or agendas. His love is pure and right. You can count on his love when all else fails.

That's the kind of love we all seek. Run to God's love and you will never want for love again. Wrap yourself in that pure, giving, eternal love...

Tomorrow... whoever believes...
