The Greatness of God is Unmeasurable

My thoughts about the verses:

We try so hard to measure how much someone loves us.  We guess what they will do for us in the future.  We wonder what they would give up for us.  We try to decide if they would be there for us in the end.

I watched a show yesterday that really made this point drive home for me.  Emergency responders suggest that you place and I.C.E. phone number on you cell phone.  This is the person that you want them to contact in case of an emergency in which they have to make the call for you. 

Think for a minute who would that person be?  Many might say that’s easy my parent, a friend, my lover or a Preacher.  Yet, what if you are in a situation where your parents are dead.  You can think of a best friend that would be there for you.  You do not have a partner.  You are not close to your Pastor or do not even go to Church.  Who do you choose in this case? 

Yet, I want us to look at an ever more important issue.  What happens when we pass away?  Have you found the I.C.E. for that moment?  Many of us know exactly who that will be.  We do not have to put the person in our phone.  We do not have to worry if anyone calls them because we already know they would be there.  Those that accept Jesus in their life have the best I.C.E. in the world.  Jesus will take us to the everlasting promise land. 

With that in mind, we have to offer praise Jesus for the ultimate sacrifice.  Jesus loves us more than anyone else.  God loves us more than any person.  The Holy Spirit loves us more than any person will ever love us.  God sent the beloved son so that we may have the gift of everlasting life.  Jesus went to the cross willingly so that his blood would cover our sins.  The Holy Spirit lives within us so that we may feel the peace and comfort that comes from loving God.

Think about this a second.  Who do you know who would truly die for you?  Many people say it yet, who really would give up their life?  As we think on this we need to remember that we do not need anyone else to die for us.  Jesus has already died to cover all our needs.

We need to offer praises up to God.  We need to thank God for all the love and grace that is given to us.  We need to know that God loves each and every one of us more than anyone will ever love us.  God’s love is unmeasurable.

Prayer:

We praise you God for you are holy.  We praise you for your love.  We praise you for your sacrifice.  Help us to accept your gift of love.  Help us to always remember that you are always with us.  Help us to remember to lift our voices up in praise to thank you for everything that you do.  We offer our prayers up to you the Greatest Love of all.  Amen

Questions:

Have you accepted the gift of everlasting life?  Have you asked God to be your I.C.E.?
