God’s Unquenchable Love
“Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.” (Song of Solomon 8:7 WEB)
Your sins were like many waters, but it cannot quench God’s love for you.
When the children of Israel were about to cross from the wilderness to the land of Canaan, they stood before the river Jordan. The ark of the covenant entered the river first, and the waters parted, gathering up as a heap far away over the city of Adam. This is a picture of Jesus removing our sins, even all the way back to Adam’s original sin, by taking God’s judgment for sin in His own body at the cross.
Jesus stripped Himself of His divine glory, became a man, was humiliated like a criminal, suffered excruciatingly and died a bloody death.
Jesus gave all the wealth of His house for love. He did that because He loves you.
It does not make any sense. You might call such a love ‘foolish’. That is just how much God loves you.
“A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God. You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.” When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.” (Luke 18:18-23 WEB)
When Jesus tested the rich young ruler by asking him to sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, the man could not do it.
Jesus is the true rich forever-young ruler from Heaven who has all the best treasures. At the cross, He sold everything and gave it all to you.
He was made poor so that we might become rich. He was treated like the worst sinner so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!
Receive Jesus’ unquenchable love for you. See the great price He paid to redeem you. Know that you are very precious to God!
It is so wonderful to see Jesus in action by reading the four gospels. When we see Jesus, we also get to know God the Father. Understand the four gospels through the lens of grace in this bundle: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable
far away from me 在 03.Take Me Faraway (by 大野智)中文歌詞- 精華區lyrics 的推薦與評價
在藍光盪漾中寫下的一封信 輕輕的 永遠讓風帶走
滑落的水滴有如透明的聲音 想必 將去到妳那裡
昨夜看見的天空在靜靜燃燒 太陽與星光引導的Story
曾經相信的世界尋回了色彩 只要細心留意
感受所有曾經記得的情感 強烈地在心深處
幾度想要告訴妳 只有寫下隻字片語
有如遠方浮現的星座 描繪著每一個瞬間
向不斷循繞的寂靜 發問
Tell me why? Take me faraway
閉上眼睛鮮明澄澈的記憶 輕輕地 永遠讓風帶走
有如在淡淡季節圍繞下的幽香 想必 將去到妳哪裡
為了傳達昨夜 繫起的線是兩個Story
無論世界如何開始改變 皆不變如常
相信時光所彈奏的音色 深深迴響在心裡
幾度想要告訴妳 映照出妳的心
愛情牽繫的盡頭 有永恆誕生在該處
向不斷流動的旋律 發問
Tell me why? Take me faraway
無論身在何處 無論身處何處
抬頭仰望 同樣的星空
捧著滿滿的光芒 想帶給妳
不管再過多久
虛幻的熱情之影 我都不願忘懷
感受所有曾經記得的情感 強烈地在心深處
幾度想要告訴妳 只有寫下隻字片語
有如遠方浮現的星座 描繪著每一個瞬間
向不斷循繞的寂靜 發問
Tell me why? Take me faraway
