A Time to Consider God's Love!
Love expressed by God becoming man,
first as the babe, then as the man;
to walk and talk among us,
as the perfect man,
to speak and live among us,
as the perfect revealer of God to us,
to be cursed, rejected, & crucified by us,
as the perfect sacrificed life for all our sin,
as the perfect redeemer from all our sin,
to be accepted and glorified by the Father,
by resurrection from the dead,
by ascension to the Father,
by seating at the Father's right hand,
to be the first of God's new kind of man,
to be the first man glorified by the Father.
Love expressed by God giving to us,
by personal trust in God's redemptive work;
our spiritual birth totally new in kind like Christ.
He also has united us to Christ in His
death, burial, resurrection, ascension, & seating,
and He has given us the gift of Christ Himself,
to be our life,
to live His life in these mortal bodies,
so we may now enjoy intimacy with God,
as He shares us, His fragrance, on earth,
as He shows us, and we gaze on, His Son,
by His Spirit in the Words of Scripture,
as He conforms us from glory to glory,
unto the very image of God our Savior.
God & His Love be glorified forever!
