see how He loved

When you fall head over heels in love, your world turns upside down and things are seen in a light that distorts your perspective. But human love only changes the perspective and not the underlying thing. But the love of God in Christ Jesus does both -- changes your perspective and the underlying reality. And only the love of Christ can make things be something they otherwise would not be.

Today He loved us most. He turned mangled flesh into a thing of beauty. He turned thorns into the most wondrous of head ornaments. He turned pieces of wood into the most sacred of objects. He turned pain into bliss, darkness into light, death into life.

Today He loved us most.

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." {Rom5:8}
