‘It could have been very easy for God to have loved us and never told us. God could have been merciful toward us and never revealed it… The Eternal Son came to tell us what the silence never told us. He came to tell us that God cares and God loves and God has a plan and God’s carrying out that plan.’ - A.W. Tozer
Our God comes, He does not keep silence (Psalm 50:3). He is the Word made flesh (John 1). The Word reveals how we know that we are loved by God: ‘By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.’ (1 John 3:16). We are not left to wonder if we are known, and loved by God, because although we are dust, we ‘fill the mind of God’ (Tim Keller on Psalm 8:4).
Thank you, Father, that we are not left to guess if You love us and are for us. All we must do is set our eyes to the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Your Son, our Brother, Savior, and King - Christ Jesus. And it is in His name that we pray, amen.
Remembering,
