Do you really know love?

I hope you all are aware of what time of the year it is. I'm not talking about being with family and eating together. I'm talking about the time of the year where we need to be really thinking even more than the rest of the year about the greatest sacrifice and most meaningful death that creation has ever experienced. The only death in all of history to offer up the greatest gift that only one has the power to give. A single, perfect and blameless life handed over for the rest of the world's lives. A gift that is not only free to those who want it, but a gift that came at the highest price. I want to encourage all of you who read this, that while I hope you do enjoy your time with family and loved ones, that you also put a considerable amount of thought in the one reason why we are all here to begin with. The Ultimate Sacrifice. The greatest gift. The deepest love.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him will NOT persish, but have eternal life."
John 3:16

I think, as this verse is probably one of the most commonly known verses in the bible, that it is also the most looked over. I urge you to take time and meditate on it. Pray. What kind of love offers a life as a sacrifice? Not just any kind. The kind that brings us to the Most High. That grants us holiness in the sight of the creator. Gives us hope of being with the One who loves us more than anything. Remember that as you go through the year. Don't let Easter be the only season of the year that you remember and reflect on what Jesus Christ did for all of us on the cross. Go in Christ, and reflect the love of Christ to the world!
