Easter

My Father gave me the greatest gift in the world.

As a parent, this gift is hard to even fathom for me.

How in the world could a father give away his child? 

How could He possibly do this knowing that I would kill Him?

He must love me more than anything else and this is a humbling thought.

My Father loves me so much that He was willing to make a sacrifice 

so I could come back home and be with Him. He wants ME to be a part of His family.

It reminds me of the song - 

Amazing Love (And Can It Be)
words by Charles Wesley And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that Thou, my God, should die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, should die for me?
He left His Father's throne above; so free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me.
Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, should die for me?
Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast-bound in sin and nature's night.
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke--the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free!
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee!
Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, should die for me?
No condemnation now I dread. Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
