Greatest Love...

Once upon a time, there was a farmer that lived far away from the town and city. He was a successful farmer at that time, he planted and harvested bountifully then he sold those farm produce in town in exchange for Gold to buy other things he needed. He was content and grateful to God.

He was a Christian and believed in God. Those days, it's very rare to see Christian who knew and understood what it was to live as a Christian that was because there was rarely a church to worship.

In a whole town or city,just one church will be found. So it was a whole full day journey or some times two for those living far away. But Whenever he goes to town for sales he visits the church .

One of those visits he prayed.. He thanked God for the harvest for his life and then he asked that God should give him a wife. Someone to share these blessings with..

Going down the town, he saw a very beautiful girl going for a stroll, and he heard God saying that she is the one.

He inquired about the girl and found out that she was the highest paid prostitute in town.

Then he heard again,go get her, she's the one. He was so confused that he had to ask God why he would prefer him to marry a prostitute, some one that almost the whole town has slept with. As hard and confused as it seems,he went to the brothel.

He wasted all his Gold dust he got from his sales inorder to pay for the time he needed to convince her to run away. She refused because she has concluded a long time ago that her life is useless and obviously does not deserve anything good. She knew she was dirty and was proud of it. She hated God because he never saved her when she needed saving. So she doesn't believe God exist.

After many events and eventually she almost died from her master's beating. The farmer came to rescue her and married her.

You know the saying that a dog goes back to it's vomit. That was how this beautiful lady went back to prostitution over and over again and the husband kept resucing her and never for once hated her.

He loved her and showed it to her. Nobody has ever loved her like that,she grew up with hatred and started prostitution at the age of 8..

She couldn't believe someone could ever see anything good in her not to talk of loving her.

She had the idea that Every man that treats you well always wanted something in return. This made her to keep repeating her mistake till she realized that they was truely a prodigal love. A love that doesn't require anything from you..

This story was gotten from a book..not just the main characters but the writer was trying to show us something...

The prostitute was a representation of us, while the farmer was Christ..

For God so loved the world that he gave himself as a Ramson for our sin.

It will be a different scenero if you were to die for a good man. But we were evil,we were enemies to God. Sin brought enemity and separation from God. But while we were yet sinners he died for us..

The truth is that while we were all dead in sin,Christ gave himself for us. He did not even know if we will believe and be saved, but he did it anyways.

He showed how much he loved us by giving himself up to take our place.

You know this salvation message is one that still gives me chills anytime I hear it . Even though I have heard it many times.

We were the ones that sinned,we were the ones that lied,killed,stole and did all manners of things but someone else paid for the sins.

He was without sin, He was the righteous God that could not even behold sin. That very thing he hated more ( I .E sin) he became that on the cross so we can be saved. He bore all the sins of the whole world on himself and died in our place....Such love ..

What greater love is there for a man to lay down his life for his friends..

He did not say we are not worth it, he did not say we are beyond saving, He just loved us..

He died in our place that we might be forgiven, we may be called righteous. He was buried and went to hell on our behalf and he resurrected that we might be justified.. We can boldly say we are now sons of God.

It is God's love that redeems us.. It's not that we were perfect but he loved us first..

If for anything, just know that God loves you recklessly. And nothing can separate you from this love.

Not height nor depth nor fear not pain not persecution can separate us from this love of Christ..

It's the revelation of this love that brings peace which passes all understanding..

Behold what manner of Love♥️♥️♥️.

Happy Sunday people .... Hope you went to church??🤗🤗..
