In Jesus, we see the love
proximity brings…
Jesus was destined for the cross
but He followed through when
He had a way out because of the
LOVE He had for us.
Jesus went to the cross- not
because He was judging dirty
sinners, but because He so loved
a broken world.
Maybe Jesus took on flesh and
allowed Himself to be inflicted
with all the ills we face in this
fallen state to feel the suffering,
not just imagine it.
I wonder if Jesus became God
incarnate because He wanted to
experience our humanity, to heal
us out of proximal love.
When we get into close proximity
to pain and suffering, it takes us
from blind judgement to stark
awareness.
