As we continue our week on God's heart to meet with man, today we'll look at the best example

I can think of. Many of us doubt the love of God due to all kinds of circumstances. But I pray today

you become even a little bit more convinced and sure of his pursuit

and unconditional love for you specifically. Open your heart today and allow God to give you a

renewed sense of how much you mean to him. Welcome to the first 15 podcast.

...you know, Our scripture for today comes from Matthew chapter 1, verse 23.

Scripture says,

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall call his name Emmanuel,

which means God with us.

There is no more powerful depiction of God's love for us

than Jesus stepping off his throne to humble himself,

take on flesh, and dwell among men.

Jesus coming down to us perfectly demonstrated God's grace and desire to meet with man.

Imagine for a minute, the sacrifice of Jesus.

Prior to coming down to us, he was Spirit, like God the Father and the Holy Spirit.

He dwelt everywhere in every point of time.

He was in perfect communion with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus gave up the very nature of his existence

that we might walk in restored relationship with God.

He sacrificed being spirit that we might simply know God's love.

Jesus was the heart of God perfectly personified.
