So today is Valentine's Day.
I'm just going to offer that our culture really gets us to think about, and then expect a great Hallmark card, a wonderful flower arrangement, or some elaborately conceived romantic dinner.
Don't get me wrong, all those things can be great. But in thinking about these things or focusing on them, we miss something much much greater. Something that doesn't even compare in fact.
Today, it would be horrible to not even think for a few minutes and reflect on Christ's great act of love. Leaving the glory of heaven to come and suffer on the cross. To heal us and redeem us.
No Hallmark card, flowers, romantic dinners WILL EVER, not even come 1,000,000,000,000,000 light years anywhere close to Christ's love offering:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16 NIV)
