Love Is Sacrifice, Mercy and Grace

You are in the middle of the street

And a speeding car rounds the corner and is coming right at you

There is no where to go, you are frozen in your steps and there is nothing you can do

Then someone is pushing you out of the way, you feel relieved, you will now survive this day.  You look up and see your father get hit and he dies in your place.  This is loved expressed in sacrifice, mercy and grace

You could look up and see a total stranger as he pushes you aside out of danger.  You survive  and he dies in your place This is love expressed in sacrifice, mercy and grace

Our Father in heaven sent His Son to save us all

For we were all standing in that street since our fall.  That speeding car is eternal death, it hits us all at our last breathe.  You could have heard of the Father sending His Son to save you from that car or it might be you might not have heard of either one thus far.  The Bible says your heavenly Father has His hand on your shoulder and your replacement has been sent.  All He asks is you believe and receive in the One He has sent and repent.

This kind of sacrifice, mercy and grace for you is probably new

A sacrificial love that is willing to give their live for you 

But love is patient and kind not wiling to leave anyone behind

When you are pushed aside, and Jesus takes your place, that’s love expressed in sacrifice, mercy, and seasoned with heavenly grace

Thank Him for that push because you are now truly alive

Now He wants you to go in His power and truly survive
