God's Outstanding Love Demonstrated

UV 1458/10,000 God’s Outstanding Love Demonstrated
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Matthew 27 v 46
The entire Bible is the answer to the final question Jesus asked God the Father while on the cross. Scripture is GOLD or God’s Outstanding Love Demonstrated. It was manifested in the work and words of Jesus during His walk on earth. It was demonstrated by His death on the cross and Resurrection. God had forsaken Jesus momentarily to demonstrate His love in a practical as well as intense way. Greater love has never been demonstrated before or since that event at Golgotha. God demonstrated the power of love and compassion in this single act of abandoning His beloved Son, crown prince of Heaven to the cruelties and indignities , pain and most intense anguish Jesus suffered on the cross. Jesus had voluntarily submitted to the will of the Father even though He had cried out on the rock of agony while sweating drops of blood, “ If it is possible take this cup of suffering away. Yet not my will but thine.”

The book of Revelation urges us to buy the gold that is pure or in other words to gain greater knowledge of God’s Outstanding Love Demonstrated. Jesus suffered agony for the sake of our ecstasy. It is this faith that is pure gold in the sight of the Lord. With it we have great purchasing power in the abundant economy of heaven. Jesus demonstrated the love of God in His birth, life, teachings, miracles, parables and the manner of His death and resurrection. Jesus needed to redeem us who believe by paying the price of sin- death. He made us victorious by overcoming death and by being resurrected. The self same Resurrection power is now at work in us to do that which we cannot think, ask or even imagine. The suffering, trials, tribulations and temptations we undergo in the course of our own lives are the fire that shapes the pure gold of faith in us into finished ornaments to adorn the kingdom of God.

Our strong grasp on GOLD or God’s Outstanding Love Demonstrated will enable us to be level five leaders- who are meek and yet mighty, firm yet humble, compassionate yet effective, powerful yet fearful of God. The deeper and more intense our understanding of God’s Outstanding Love, the greater the impact on our own character and lives. It is the GOLD that neither moth nor rust nor thieves can steal or destroy or denature. There is nothing we cannot do with such divine knowledge. It gives us both example and precept. God no longer forsakes us on account of the GOLD in us. He embraces us and fulfils us. He satisfies us with good things of heaven and earth. He never leaves us.
