His Son Died for My Son

Landon just turned eight months old, and this morning I was able to spend some quiet, alone time with him. He is so precious – I held him close and just let myself enjoy the sweet time I had to hold and love on him. I told him how wonderful he is and how much I love him. I told him of God’s overwhelmingly big love for him, too, as I quoted John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world [that means you, Landon] that He gave His one and only Son [Jesus] that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

Suddenly, my spirit was overwhelmed with the awesomeness of the truth that
God gave His Son to die for my son.

What a wonderful love God has for humanity. Who are we that God Himself should send His perfect Son to save us from our sin and give us marvelous life through Him? Thank you, God, that because your sinless Son died on the cross and rose again three days later, my son (and all of us) can live.
