Encounter the power

*drumroll for a week late blog!*

It is so incredibly powerful to watch the scene in The chronicles of Narnia where Aslan trades his life for Edmunds. Its very much what Jesus did for us on the cross. Even though we very much deserved what Jesus got, he took it instead. Wow.

Love is a sacrificial action. The depth of Gods love is unfathomable.

Romans 5:8-11

8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Forgiveness - You need to believe it! Not only for yourself but for others! See Romans 3:10-12. God remembers our sins NO MORE. This is something I have been struggling with myself, and then to see that other people are also forgiven, and are no less and no more loved by God as I am. See also Hebrews 10:17.

Accept it! You can never outdo Gods love! Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9...

Forgiveness is a treasure - persue it! Share whats going on with others! Phillipians 3:13-14
