Recently, I watch this movie Suspect X and while the plot is superb, it is the love story that really leave an impact on me. I loves to read love story and marvel when there are acts of love done in sacrifice.
I thought it is very noble to sacrifice for the one you love. But, the suspect x really went one step further. He is not related to the lady, they are not in a relationship, the fact is, they are not even what you would call good friend.
He simply loves her and would go to great length to help her. Well, the story has it that he admit a crime on her behalf and construct all the evidence in such a manner to prove that he is the one doing the crime instead of her.
Can you even beging to imagine the love that he has for her? He demands nothing, did everything for her, even though he is going to die because of this, and he get nothing out of this -pretty stirring right?
Just as I was thinking about this -something struck me? I know of someone that did exactly the same thing and more. His name is Jesus.
When he come to earth to bear our sins, did he asked us to do anything? Nothing. When he died for us, did he demand anything from us? Nothing. Even now, that the ultimate sacrifice has been made, he still did not make any demand for himself.
But he asked you to love him because he wants you to have eternal life, to be blessed and to have good stuff such as peace and joy. He did things so that we would be happy, it was never about him in the first place.
Many years ago, someone asked me what is unconditional love -I told her Jesus, because that is what I was taught in Sunday School. But, having seen the way the man love the women, I sort of understand unconditional love, and can imagine the hurt when people turn away from Jesus.
Now, Jesus is the same man that is part of the trinity that created the world, that can bring in the flood, part a sea and blast fire from heaven. If he wants something, can he not just get it? Yet, he did it his way, by showing us that he first love us, waiting for us to return his love.
Many sad things are reported on the papers today and around the world -it grieves us. And we are all concern about what would happen to us -do not worry. If he loves you enough to die for the sins you have, long before you came, would be not ensure that you would be fed, clothed and have a house over your head?
His love is so much more than what he would provides for you. If you chanced upon this post and do not yet know him -you might want to talk to him. Just talk as you would to him and pour your heart out to him. End your prayer with a amen and your prayer would be answer.
He works in mysterious way and in his own timing, but he is a prayer answering God, that is part of his love...
