John 3:16 NIV "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Why did God do that? I have always wondered this question. Why did we even matter? God knew that we would continue to sin. God knew that we wouldn't put Him first. Why would God send His ONLY Son, and have Him crucified like a common criminal?
Now that I have a daughter...my own child, I can't even dream of sending her somewhere bad to die. I always thought that way, but it makes me wonder why even more since I have Lucy. I could not and do not even want to think about it. To think that she would be whipped over and over, stabbed, spit on, mocked, her hands and feet nailed to a big piece of wood that she would have to carry, is terrible. I truly don't understand it.
I can't get it in my head and heart, as to why I am that important. I know the answer that I always get is because He loves us that much, but why? All I do is mess up and He still loves me? I know that I don't think about God enough or even close to enough, and He still loves me.
Jesus being tortured was the only way that I could ever be saved. I am forever grateful. I still wonder why.
