ISAIAH 49:7
The LORD who saves you is the Holy One of Israel.
|
Even after generations of people had spit in his face, he still loved them. 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 its greatest defense. For only God could love like that....
How absurd to think that such nobility would go to such poverty to share such a treasure with such thankless souls.
But he did.
