To be completely honest until Sunday my thoughts were more focused on whether or not my kids Easter outfits would arrive in time for Easter, but the sermon at church was exactly what I needed to hear in order to change that. It wasn't anything fancy, more like a history lesson on what led up to the Crucifixion (the rest of the story will be told at the Good Friday service), but it made me refocus my attentions on what this week really is all about.
This incredible life saving gift that God gave us through sacrificing his son, Jesus Christ is incomprehensible. Why would God do that?
I sang this song for communion one Sunday and it was really hard for me to get through. These words say exactly what I feel. I hope they touch your heart too.
THIS FATHOMLESS LOVE
Lord, what moved Your heart to love lowly man
Before any star could herald Your praise?
And why did You come, abasing Yourself
Veiled in a robe of frail human clay?
Why would You, the pure, give Your life for the vile
The innocent seeking the guilty
To be reconciled?
I can’t comprehend this fathomless love
I’m gripped and amazed at what You have done
Why would the adored become the despised
To bear all the furious wrath that was mine?
How awesome this mystery
Of Your fathomless love for me
Why would You adopt and take as Your own
Those who had crushed Your one precious Son?
Why mercy and grace towards Your enemies?
Your name they have cursed
And Your throne they have shunned
Oh, how could You choose
To show kindness to these?
The ones who would mock You and hate You
The ones just like me?
I can’t comprehend this fathomless love
I’m gripped and amazed at what You have done
Why would the adored become the despised
To bear all the furious wrath that was mine?
How awesome this mystery
Of Your fathomless love for me

May your focus be on the Unfathomable love that Christ has for you. Happy Easter!
