Looking at all of God, not just the fun bits.

This is just something I've been mulling over lately, a little bit of pondering;

We have been told that God is a loving, gracious, merciful, kind, compassionate, wonderful, and good sky fairy who runs a day care in the sky and has a bucket of suckers for everyone because we’re all good people. That is a lie… God looks down and says ‘I hate you, you are my enemy, and I will crush you,’ and we say 'that is deserved, right and just' and then God says ‘Because of Jesus I will love you and forgive you.’ This is a miracle.”

Jesus is our miracle, We live in His grace not in our goodness.

When you think about how forgiving god is remember he is only so because of Jesus and that grace is available to us at the cost of his blood on the cross.

That same blood that now heals us,
The cross that couldn't put to death a god but brought victory and saved us with grace.

Don't be fooled by fear, no sin is too great the victory is won.

Death is beaten

Jesus is Alive.
