a morning meditation

"Just as the Father loves Me, I also love You." John 15:9

The Son of God, Who is God Himself, loves us with such intensity and intimacy as His Father's love for Him.

The inexpressible delight He enjoys in fellowship with the Father and the Spirit, He longs to share with us forever. With the very same bloodthirsty criminals who howled, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him! His blood be on us and upon our children." And because of this great love He endured the cruel thorns and nails of the cross.

Doesn't that take your breath away?
