We use all kinds of phrases to describe God, but rarely do we think of God as a model for the kind of words we are to speak. From the beginning pages of the Bible we discover the talkative nature of God and the life-giving words that come out of His mouth.
Many people have described our time on earth as like the dance floor of life. Journeying through our lives in a satisfying and beautiful manner necessitates that we accept our God-given role in the dance of life.
God’s love for us was manifested in the death and sacrifice of Christ on the cross where Jesus satisfied and fully appeased the penalty due to us for our sins. This was the ultimate act of love Jesus modeled not only for the disciples, but for everyone.
very year we contemplate the events that surround the crucifixion of Jesus… and every year we’re left wondering, “What is good about Good Friday?”
Christ asks nothing more from us than what He modeled in the Garden – a loving heart that is fully submitted and surrendered to the heart of our Heavenly Father. That heart posture will truly lead to doing loving acts on behalf of others.
