the greatest love story ever
can i tell you of someone who loves me so much?
he calls me his son, and i am his beloved and he is mine.
there is a law, and when you break this law, punishment is death. he found me sentenced to death, guaranteed to fail. yet, instead of turning his back on me, which anyone could easily have done, his son takes my place in death. no matter how much i plea, the deed has been done and even though i admit to breaking the law, the crime was already atoned for. what other emotion can i then feel? thankfulness. thank you for dying, taking my place.
but then he raises him from the dead. it is not a cop out, a gimmick to make me feel guilty and then thankful – instead it is to show his power. the crime is PAID for already, but death has no power over him. how awesome is that? to be LOVED by a person like that.
thank you, for loving me.
