More times than not I experience what took place again this morning. As I journaled this morning to Jesus I was thanking Him for the unconditional love He bestows. It doesn’t matter at all what He has needed to do to cleanse us of our sin, that was already done. He knows we still have our flesh to battle, but He offers this unconditional love because that is what God His Father has and what His Father used to give Jesus to us knowing we can never be worthy of His Love on our own. This message was then reinforced by my devotional message as is often the case. Then, as I was doing my Bible reading in II Chronicles, I find this same love of God shown when Hezekiah had the priests prepare the temple for the Passover celebration. Following this period of celebration the people of Judah went throughout the land and destroyed the gods which had been replacing God their real Father.
Today we have Jesus and The Holy Spirit to assist us to daily destroy the gods of our flesh we sometimes want to turn to. The Israelites had a temple and sacrifices to cleanse them of their sins. We, on the other hand, have had all of this done for us through Jesus Christ. On top of that, we were gifted with God’s Holy Spirit to dwell within us. How in the world did we ever deserve such love? Well, we didn’t, God just loves us that much!
