God's Pursuing Love Page 4 of 7
But God's pursuing love would not give up. God came to earth in the form of a baby named Jesus Christ. Jesus was God wearing an earthsuit. He lived a perfect sin-free life then took upon himself every wrongdoing that you and I have ever or will ever commit. Our shame, our guilt, our condemnation, our punishment was placed on his shoulders. He willingly allowed Himself to be arrested and sentenced to death in our place. This was no ordinary execution, however. Crucifixion was the ugliest, most heinous, torturous means of execution. You know, that should have been you and me on that cross, but God loves us so much He was willing to die for us. 1
Jesus was resurrected three days after His death. He spent a little more time on earth giving final instructions to His followers, and then He ascended back into Heaven to reign in the glory He deserved. He looked forward to the day when you and I would believe in Him and get to know Him, and that would make it worth all the intense suffering He underwent.
So where does that leave us?

- 1 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
- John 3:16 (Read this chapter in the Bible)
