After a nation of chosen ones had stripped Him naked and ripped His incarnated flesh, He still died for them. And even today, after billions have chosen to prostitute themselves before the pimps of power, fame, and wealth, He still waits for them. It is inexplicable. It doesn't have a drop of logic nor a thread of rationality. And yet, it is that very irrationality that gives the gospel it greatest defense. For only God could love like this.
God became earth's mockery to save His children. How absurd to think that such nobility would go to such poverty to share a treasure with such thankless souls. But He did. In fact, the only thing more absurd than the gift is our stubborn unwillingness to receive it.
Each of us know how the LORD has been pulling at our hearts; tugging at the very fibers of our soul, calling us softly towards His love. It may be a mother's voice, still heard long after she's gone. Or it may be a continuous thorn in our side which keeps us on our knees. Or it may be just a random act of kindness, blessing, or love from someone whom you never thought would stick around, that God uses to softly woo you into His presence.
The question is when are you going to listen to HIM? What more does He have to do so you will know, "He loves you?"
