“... Jesus wants to know you , every iota of you , all of you , and His love for you is limitless , boundless , bottomless , all the way up to the very heights of heaven . ”
love story that can sustain your soul — solely the passion for Love Himself .
Who but Jesus is really dying to know you ? Who but Jesus has ever wanted to know you at the expense of His very life ? Who but Jesus would pay such a high price to love you to death and back to fullest life ? It ’ s true : You love as well as you are willing to be inconvenienced — and who has been more inconvenienced in their love for you than the one who laid down His life for you ?
When someone desperately wants to know all of you , you desperately want more of that — and Jesus wants to know you , every iota of you , all of you , and His love for you is limitless , boundless , bottomless , all the way up to the very heights of heaven .
“... Jesus wants to know you , every iota of you , all of you , and His love for you is limitless , boundless , bottomless , all the way up to the very heights of heaven . ”
The One whose mind knows how to choreograph all the stars and planets across the swirling stage of the sky , the One whose mind imagined the cosmos and whose voice breathes out whole galaxies , He gave His very lifeblood to know all of your life , to be the center that holds all of your life .
All the millions of sacrificial lambs in the Old Testament that were the safe covering for tattered , tarnished lives over millennia — they were all pointing to this Lamb . All the lambs that had been slaughtered because their lifeblood was the only safe haven for people to shelter under were all pointing to this Lamb . All the stories of the Old Testament were pointing to this love story . All the stories in this world are ultimately giving their commentary on the story of the Word , and all the words in the world are ultimately wrestling with this Word . Every one of the world ’ s stories is either trashing or treasuring this Word and His story .
And the Word Himself lives the story you should have lived , and dies the death your story should have had , all to write you into the cosmic love story you were made for — the story of His passion , the story of His love sacrificing for you .
There ’ s a way into this story that is better than all the legends , because this is literal reality .
There ’ s a way into this story that is better than any story on a larger-than-life or handheld screen , because this is the story that comes and saves you .
There ’ s a way into this story that is better than every dream-come-true fairy tale , because this one is cosmically true .
And the way into this story isn ’ t dependent
