Amazing love, how can it be?

In my devotions today I started to read the book of Ephesians. During the first two chapters of the letter, Paul writes his introduction and in his usual fission gives praise to the Lord before getting into the meat of his letter. In his introduction, Paul praises the Lord for his grace and mercy for the redemption and forgiveness of sins for the entire human race, not just the Jew. Before the foundation of the world God has made a plan for the redemption and salvation of his children whom he haven’t even created yet; a plan so amazing, it is beyond the complete comprehension of man. The plan involved Himself becoming man and bearing the punishment of the whole worlds’ sin by His death on the cross at Calvary! Amazing!

And can it be, that I should gain, an interest in the savior’s blood? Died he for me, who caused his pain: for me, who Him to death pursued. Amazing love! How can it be, that Thou, my God shouldst die for me? – Charles Wesley, Psalms and Hymns, 1738
