Romans 5:6-8 The Message (MSG)

 -

Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn’t, and doesn’t, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn’t been so weak, we wouldn’t have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.

It breaks my heart to know that God created such a beautiful world, so full of life and variety, and those he created to share it and care for it have instead caused so much destruction and pollution and pain and harm. And all the terrible things people have done to each other. I have wondered many, many times how He can bear watching all this happen. How can He still love us when we, as a race, have disappointed and offended Him on every level? Yet He does, and I pray for the day when He restores all things to the "good" He created them to be.
