Our God is so great it is literally beyond description.
I've just started reading the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan and it is incredible. If you have 3 mins, please take the time to watch this clip - God Declares His Glory.
And, if you have another 3 mins, watch this clip - The Awe Factor of God.
Now, with that in mind, reread the following passage....
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6
This amazing, holy God, creator of the universe, this Jesus took the punishment that you and I so rightly deserved, He took the wrath of God upon Himself, He endured separation from His Father, and the Father endured inflicting His wrath upon His own Son and separating Himself from Him - all of this, for you and for me.
He loves us that much.THAT is crazy love.
Tomorrow's passage: Isaiah 58:1-63:14

My best friend Trish just read that recently and it's on the top of my list for the next few months.
You've sure been doing some great reading:)
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I'm kind of at a loss for words.
