Scandalous Love

We fell, we failed, we were such a mess. He stepped in at the right time to salvage the spoilage. He struck the right bargain. He made us a covenant. He kept His part but we couldn't keep ours - we were hopeless like that. But the scandalous love He has for us wouldn't let Him abandon us to our pitiful fate. The *ALMIGHTY GOD* became a Man (and in so doing helped us fulfill our part in the justice system - "the soul that sins must die"). Becoming a man was not enough; He became *SIN* itself, for that was the only way to deal with what had plagued us since The Fall. As if that was not scandalous enough, He died and went to hell! He overcame sin, death, hell, and all the authority the devil wielded over us; He didn't need the trophies - He did all for us - God became a man that man may become God, The Son of God became The Son of Man that The Son of Man may become The Son of God! On the third day He rose again and freely gave us the *VICTORY*. He has thus given us the assurance of dominion over sin and death. If we believe in His sacrifices and confess Him as LORD we would live twice (our life now and eternity with Him in the hereafter) but if anyone rejects Him they would die twice (the spiritual death and/or separation from God they're experiencing now and eternity in hell). Selah!
