“God could have paid our debt with a mountain of silver and gold if that was the cost. He could have made another world if that was the price of our sin. But he only had one son and even him he did not spare. He did not spare him betrayal. He did not spare him from false accusations. He did not spare him from flogging. He did not spare him from being stripped and beaten. He did not spare him from the crown of thorns. He did not spare him from crucifixion. And he did not spare him from death.
Jesus was given to us not just as a king. He was given as a sacrificial lamb; a lamb led to the slaughter. This is love beyond comprehension because it is love from another world. God’s generosity is our victory. His greatest gift meets our deepest need.”
—John Rinehart
My prayer this week: Lord, thank you for an audacious love that held nothing back so that I could be redeemed, restored, and reconciled. Let the depth of your sacrifice — your Son not sparing — stir my gratitude and draw me into a life shaped by your generosity.
