V08-005 - It's really remarkable, isn't it, to contemplate the love of God for our souls and to realize that 2,000 years before you and I were born that Christ had already taken care of everything that was necessary to secure our eternal well-being, to secure the forgiveness of our sins and to guarantee our place in heaven. What a gracious God. What a loving God that we serve and it's just so critical for us to keep his love at the center of our contemplations of him lest we start to think wrong thoughts about God. You will never, ever think too highly about God's love. You will never think too much about his grace. You will never out think and exhaust or think too highly about how much he loves your soul. That's always measured not by what's happening in your life today because this world is filled with sorrow and disappointments and your own sins and failures, but we measure the love of God by the death of Christ on the cross and there where Christ suffered on your behalf, where Christ voluntarily laid down his life to save you from sin, where Christ gladly gave himself up and said, "Father, forgive them for they don't know what they're doing," that's where we see the love of God on perfect display and so well do we sing, "It is well with my soul," as we open up our time together here this evening...
