Colossians 1:13-14 New International Version (NIV)
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of
darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in
whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Rescued! Redeemed! Forgiven! Those are the three concepts in
this short passage. But, maybe the most important one of all is represented by
the phrase, "Son he loves." God didn't save us with a plan, or a
message, or a clean and immaculate process. Instead, he took what was most
precious to him and offered Jesus up as our salvation. The cost was enormous.
The love involved was overwhelming. The result is our greatest gift.
Thought for today:
Do I think about the cost of salvation and the duty required in it?
