The Furious Love of God
Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends.
– John 15:13
Calvary’s cross is the place where the furious love of God intersects with our
broken and shattered hearts. Never before and never since has love been on
such open display as it was that day when Jesus was swung up between heaven
and earth. The pitiful Palestinian sun beat down into His open wounds until it
felt as though the very flames of hell itself had embedded themselves in the
flesh of the only begotten Son of God.
Women shrieked and men stood paralyzed. The earth shook, and it was as black as
night at noonday. God was unsheathing His weapon. The love of Jesus was
starkly, publicly exhibited for all to see.
The compassion of Jesus is the compassion of Almighty God. God loves you with a
love so forceful, so powerful, that it becomes the wielded weapon in His hand
to defeat every lie, accusation, sickness, bondage, torment, and lack of your
human soul. The fruit of God’s love is power!
Holy Spirit, help me to walk in the power of God’s love.
