A grandmother comments, "I'm just crazy about my grand babies! I'm so blessed." A young man says to his sweetheart, "I'm crazy about you, Baby. I love you so much." Recently the phrase, "Crazy Love," has become the title of the very interesting book by first time author Francis Chan, about the awesome love of God.
God's love for us is certainly amazing! Charles Wesley's words have been sung for more than 250 years, "Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" Jesus said "Greater Love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Jesus spoke these words to his disciples in John 15:13 just after the Last Supper and before Gethsemane. How amazing is the love of our Savior! He was going to the cross to pay a debt that wasn't His. He was going to suffer and die in our place. Why? It's not because we deserve it. We deserve death and suffering, but He took our place, suffered and died. Could we call it, "Crazy Love?" Could you say, He's crazy about you! He's crazy about me! He wants so much to rescue us from the mess we've made of our lives. This awesome love is available to you right now! Embrace this Crazy Love!
