I'm reading in Matt 3.17, this morning where God's voice speaks, as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, descends upon Christ after he is baptized. God says (The Message paraphrase): This is my Son, chosen and marked by my love, delight of my life.
I love that. Christ, the Son, is the delight of God, the Father. How much more painful then, the passage becomes when Christ cries out at the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" The one who delighted in him, had to turn his back upon him...and he was innocent. It was done for us.
This is the depths to which Christ went for us. Freely. He became a curse for us, so that God might delight in us. Ponder the depths of that truth.
