Our God is so amazing. He works in ways that are so amazing. His love is so vast and so deep that the human mind can't comprehend his magnitude.
Ponder this.
In the Old Testament, the Israelites could only come to God through the prophets and through burnt offerings of Lambs, Goats, etc.
So, the God of the Old Testament was ABOVE them.
When Jesus was born, God's only son, walked among us and died for our sins.
So, when Jesus was here, God was WITH us.
Christians always talk about how anointed Paul and the disciples were for being in his prescence and wlaking and spending time with him on Earth, BUT
When he died and rose again and ascended to Heaven, God sent the Holy Spirit down to live with us.
So, with the Holy Spirit, God is INSIDE of us,
So, we in fact have something better than just being WITH Jesus, he lives inside of us.
So, Remember,
1 John 4:7,
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."
