Thank You

     A few weeks ago during a church service, our pastor mentioned how amazing the home coming must have been for Jesus. He imagined the angels rushing about to get the throne room ready and God the Father sitting on His throne in anticipation. And then every thing is ready and Jesus gets there and its a huge ginormous party. the music blasts. Angels cheer. The Father steps from His throne to hug His son and says "Good job, Son!". It really is a beautiful picture.
     Except one thing stuck in my mind. As my pastor said out loud what he imagined God would say to Jesus, I heard two different words. I heard the physical voice of my pastor say "good job, son" and at the same time i heard another voice say "Thank you, son..." and it stopped me.
     God is not some big angry guy in the sky that Jesus had to shield us from his frustration by dying on a cross. God is Father God. He created us because He loves us. And He thanked His son for loving us just as much as He does and for rescuing us from absolute death.
    

John 15:13

King James Version (KJV)

¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


Jesus became a man and He laid down His life for who both Him and His Father love...us.

Thank you Jesus.
