God's love is different than anything that we have ever experienced. God loves the undeserving. It is not a passing, whatever-you-have-done-for-me-lately kind of love, but a lasting love. His is not the kind of love we are used to, and it is different enough to make us excited again.

We see the peculiar love of God in this passage as he calls us to stay close. We keep our hearts by keeping close to Jesus.

The resurrection ofJesus gives us greater reason NOT to be afraid. Jesus, by defeating death obliterates all reason to fear.

If you are united to Christ, have you been changed by Good Friday? You have been, so live your life as dead to sin and alive to Christ. Good Friday is yours, and you are free.

Will you let Jesus be King in HIS way and on HIS terms? We serve HIM, not the other way around. Jesus is not just someone to be respected - He is someone to be worshiped and served. He is the King we must all submit to. And He is also a humble and relatable Savior who understands our weaknesses. Serve Him.

Where Israel failed to obey and where we fail to obey, Jesus obeyed. We needed a cure, and we have one in Jesus. As Spirit-filled Christians, we have an advocate in him with the Father and we can now turn our eyes to Jesus, express faith to remember what He has done for us, repent of our many sins, and experience true and lasting joy.

Children can hold onto small things for dear life. One tactic to get them to drop that little treasure burrowed in their fist is to offer them something else that they want more because even the smallest children understand that you cannot hold two things at once. Some of us need to drop something that we are holding onto and cling to the Lord. You can only hold one thing at a time. There is no room in your life to hold something apart from Jesus.

The one who killed our sin also raised us and gave us everything we need to know Him and love Him! God desires your steadfast love more than your sacrifice. He wants you to seek to know him as you bring your offering, not just go through the motions.

God loves us enough to call us to repent. It is because he loves us that he graciously points out those sins in our lives that must be rooted out and destroyed.

We really aren't uncomfortable enough with the idea of the wrath of God. God the father gave up his only son, and crushed him under his righteous wrath. This is how we know love.

God loves his church, his people, so much that he gave himself for it.
