Lent Devotional: March 14

(Sermon excerpt from Sunday, March 13th
"God is Insanely Loving" by the Rev. Andrew Kukla)

All that we find and see in scripture that is filled with the proliferation of sin AND forgiveness, brokenness AND restoration, and the time and again way in which God is moved to try again with God's people means that God - despite God's anger and frustrated hopes - has not given up... God's deep, passionate love of everything will not give up.

They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result. And by every shred of evidence I see, God is insane... God is insanely in love with you - with all of us - with all of creation.

"If you do not know love, you do not know God, for God is love."


---------------------------------------------

If God loves everyone and everything, and never gives up that love, how does that have a radical call on how we might choose to act towards everyone regardless of those things that we think divide us: race, creed, nation, status, world view, and even how they might treat us?
