How Can It Be?

The older I get (maybe I should say the more experienced I get) the more I am astonished by the love of our God, the love of our Lord and Savior! There is a new (at least new to me) song out by Lauren Daigle called "How Can It Be" and it has this line... "You gave your life to give me mine...how can it be?"

This thought just grabs me. Jesus gave his life to give me mine. He gives his all for me such an undeserving one. He gave his life that I might have real life not just a life of worldly and temporary things. He gave his life that I might experience and know real love, that I might be restored, renewed, redeemed, re-born, that I might have a real life for all eternity. 

In Mark 10:45 Jesus tells us; "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Oh, how he loves us (to borrow from David Crowder). And I guess to keep the musical influence going it brings to mind a hymn written in the 1700s by Charles Wesley. 

The title is "And Can It Be That I Should Gain" and it contains these lyrics...

"And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood! Died he for me? Who caused his pain! For me? Who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? "

Amazing Love Indeed! 

Grace and Peace!
