INTRO:
Love can get you to do crazy things.
I love Jess and Im telling you that pretty much from the time we met until really we got married life was crazy...
School… Meeting… Crazy about her from the beginning.
Love for one another and commitment to each other got us through some of the craziest challenges… 1 year and 8 months of Engagement long distance… Driving on weekends, staying up late for face times, paying for flights to see her, clearing schedules just to be with her (Every difficult thing was worth it if it meant I got to have her.
We knew that… thats why when I got down on one knee and asked her to be my wife she said yes. We both knew that whatever life would bring us in our future… we wanted to face life together in love and with the Lord come what may…
MAIN POINT: God desires to be with us…
BIBLE
Problem: Sin separates us from him…
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
God’s desire
I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God.
GOSPEL
God’s Solution: God did the most difficult thing ever in order to be with us.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
Because Jesus died we live in a new reality… God with us…
