I just wanted to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard with a few thoughts I had about Easter.
On Friday we had a Communion Service at Church. It was a lot more sombre then usual mainly because there were only one or two children there as opposed to the 50 or so who are usually in Church on a Sunday.
We sang How Deep the Fathers Love for Us. I was really moved by this song. The bit that struck me was the line "Why should I gain from his reward. I can not give an answer" It seems amazing to me that someone would willingly go through everything that Jesus went through not just for me but for the whole of mankind. But then I think of my children after all this song is about our Fathers love. My boys are such a blessing I love helping them to learn and grow.
At school this week my oldest son had an Easter Garden competition. He decided to make his out of lego!!! I was so proud of him he did it all by himself.
So how does this link with the song. Well as a parent it is my pleasure and joy to help my children grow into well rounded and good people. It's not an easy job but I love it. The love that our heavenly Father has for us is so amazing so vast that he would send his son to die for us that we could have a relationship with him through the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate parental sacrifice. However it is also impossible for us to truly comprehend that level of absolute love.
No matter who we are not matter what we have done in our past our heavenly Father loves us with such a passion. When we allow him into our lives and into our hearts he can help and guide us to be the people he wants us the be.
So to me Easter is the ultimate expression of our heavenly Fathers love for us. Why do we gain from His reward. The answer is unconditional love although it's a love that we can only imagine and wonder at.
