Love As Christ Loved the Church

The Father looked out at a world in rebellion against him. He saw the world filled with “children of wrath.” He saw children who had rejected him, walked away from him, turned their backs on him, and wanted nothing to do with him. And what is the Father’s response? Out of his great love, he sends his one and only Son, his beloved Son, into the world to make “children of wrath” into “children of God”! (Justin and Lindsey Holcomb, Rid of My Disgrace, p. 77).
