God’s heart that was hurting and broken as God saw the choices of humanity. God sent his son into the world not to forgive the world so much as to lead the world into a category three storm of forgiveness. A storm of forgiveness that will swirl around us and have us spin away form a physical and temporal focus on forgiveness to an internal and eternal focus on forgiveness.
God let his heart be broken by the anger and vengeance of humanity toward the gift of the Son to teach us to get out of the world of condemnation into the world of compassion and care.
God said do whatever you like to me from whatever angry and hurt part of you wants to do it and know that I remain in an “openhearted” posture toward you.
God is more than anything, hopelessly devoted to pouring into our lives hope and devotion. Jesus came not to “condemn the world” there is already too much self-righteous condemnation of others. Jesus came to lead us into a place of healing of the hurts that propel us to un-forgiveness.
Where is that place of forgiveness?
