God love Quote by Bruxy Cavey

““If Jesus had merely proclaimed, “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life,” the religious leaders could have responded, “We know! That’s why God rescued us out of Egypt and gave us the Torah to guide us!” If Jesus had merely proclaimed, “God wants to save you from your sin,” the religious leaders could have responded, “We know! That’s why when God rescued us out of Egypt and gave us the Torah he also commanded that we make regular animal sacrifices!” If Jesus had merely proclaimed, “God wants to set up his kingdom here on earth,” the religious leaders could have responded, “We know! That’s why when God rescued us out of Egypt and gave us the Torah, he also led us through the wilderness, across the Jordan, and gave us the land of Israel!” But there was a fourth gift in the gospel proclamation of Jesus. It, more than anything else, sparked a scandal that would make Jesus public enemy number one. It would lead the religious leaders of his day to call for his immediate execution. In essence, Jesus proclaimed, “God loves you, wants to forgive you for all your sin, and set up his kingdom here on earth—and you no longer need your religion to experience any of this!” Now that is a message some people thought was so threatening that it was worth killing for. It is certainly a message that Jesus thought was worth dying for.””
