Scandalous Love

The following video shares a strong message and must be watched all the way through. I have a lot of thoughts going on in my head, most of which will be expressed in the video, so let's just start there.


Jesus is enough! 2 Corinthians 12:9 says "and he said unto me,'my grace is sufficent for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" His grace is enough! This salvation isn't a " 5 Step Plan to a Better Life" it's a second birth, a birth into a life with Christ. 

The video mentioned God to have a scanalous love, His love for us is like that of Hosea for his wife. Hosea married a prositute at the call of God, and even after they were married and Hosea had loved this woman, she returned to prostitution. Then Hosea bought her back, because this prostitution was more of sex trafficking. HOSEA BOUGHT HIS WIFE BACK! She was his wife! Her captors didn't care that she was married. And Hosea bought her back at a huge cost to himself! Scandalous love? Look at the cross. Jesus died for the people, you and I, the same. Do we realize that God bought His people back from Satan, Israel was God's chosen people, and they had given themselves away to the things of this world. God bought His chosen people back, for the price of His son. 

No greater love has ever been shown than God buying back His people with the blood of His son. Jesus paid the price so we wouldn't have to. 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
