For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8
Who doesn’t have a hero to look up to in life who has braved challenges and come through – some victorious in this life, others having gone on to meet their reward in the Life to come.
Stories of survival – be it from illness, danger, or tragedy, those brave souls who “dared” put their fears to the side and face head-on the challenges they were presented with, inspire us all.
For Christians, Jesus braved impossible circumstance as He “dared”…
- To robe himself in flesh and walk amongst his creation
- To be tempted in all points like we are,
- To be wrongfully accused…
- To be beaten and broken for our sin!
- To face Death, Hell, and the Grave and take back the Keys!
Despite coming to His own, and not being welcomed…
Despite humanity’s propensity for cruelty, wickedness, and sin…God dared to love us when we were unlovable!
God dared to give even when our capacity to receive had yet to be realized.
Knowing the lengths to which God went to prove His love for you…
Knowing He dared to love you…
Won’t you dare to love HIM today with all your soul, mind and strength?
