TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 18, 2023
Wednesday, October 18, 2023 at 11:21AM Showing God
Today is October 18, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Apostle John makes it clear that the act that we are to show to the world that shows we are Christian as well as who God truly is, is
to love. to love sacrificially.
Now, we all know that that love is best shown via Jesus on the cross. However, God shows his sacrificial love all throughout the Old Testament as well. The most challenging example of it apart from Jesus? His love taught through the prophet Hosea.
In the book of Hosea we see that God's people were unfaithful, rebellious, deceitful, devious, doubtful, disrespectful, selfish, and shallow. And yet, despite all of that that God chose
to love. to love sacrificially.
And this was not an easy act. This was something he wrestled within himself to do. But, ultimately, he chose to do it. It was his love that covered over their sins so that he could have relationship with his people; it was God's choice to sacrifice his pride in order to have a relationship.
And, when we show that kind of love, not only do we show that God lives in us, but his love is made complete in us aka we show God to the world.
God's blessing upon you as you meditate on God's sacrificial love and the importance of showing that outward, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
