HOW MUCH DOES CHRIST LOVE US?

SEE BELOW

[ Hosea's Reconciliation With His Wife ] The LORD said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes." Hosea 3:1 NIV

God Loves Us Like He Does A Prostitute

-

Now that's an image of God's love we don't like to apply to our selves or to our church.

And yet that is exactly what Christ was doing in his death -

buying us back - loving us when we have adulterated our selves with the world.

Powerful!
