31 Days of Christmas – Day #10

God Did!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (Joh 3:16)

Notice that God gave His Son, not loaned, but gave. Did you ever think of what that sacrifice meant to the Father? Knowingly, He sent His only Son into a hostile world.
Many a mother felt some of God’s pain when she received a notice from the government stating that their son or daughter had been killed in action. Through her agony, they may have cried, “I never knew giving a child could be so expensive!”

If you only had one son,
would you send him to this earth
to live in lowly birth
where no one felt his worth?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you let him leave his throne
and come to live unknown
and face his task alone?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you let him serve and bless
a crowd that offered less
than love and faithfulness?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you let him weep and grieve
for men who won’t perceive,
but only make-believe?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you let him pay sin’s debt
for men who soon forget
and live without regret?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you let him bleed and die
upon a cross held high
between the earth and sky?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you raise him from the tomb
to lift away the gloom
from earth and still no room?
God did!

If you only had one son,
would you send him back again
to face a world of men
who still are lost in sin?
God will!
God will!!
GOD WILL!!!
