- We are the beneficiaries of a Love Letter:
It was written in blood, on a wooden cross
erected in Judea 2,000 years ago.
He was crucified on a cross of wood,
yet He made the hill on which it stood.
- By Him were all things made that were made;
without Him was not anything made that was made;
- By Him are all things held together!
- What held Him to that cross?
(At any time He could have declared, “I’m out of here!”)
- It was His love for you and me.
so that we could be born of God;
so that we could be lifted up;
so that we could be made co-heirs;
so that we could become His friends;
so that we could freely receive all things;
so that He could bless us in every way.
