I used to want Christ to be logical.
But He isn’t. Why would the King of literally everything step down into this horrible place and die in our place? Why would He forsake everything just to be forsaken by the ones He loves? To be betrayed by one of His closest friends? How could this Son of Man be simultaneously the Son of God? Why would anybody be so merciful? So gracious? So loving and forgiving?
I don’t understand. All I know is that He’s better than I could ever deserve. But that’s the beauty of it. It’s not something I could ever dream of working off. He paid the debt I could never pay otherwise.
He’s so good. So so good. He is goodness. He is faithful. He is trustworthy. He is beauty. He is everything.
He’s illogical and that’s the beauty of it. He defies everything we “know”. That’s the miracle of it all.
Look for a guy who will love God more than the way he'll love you, because this guy will see you the way God sees you.
If he sees you the way God does, he will see the real and best you. :)
