Beauty and truth. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

By Adrian Martinez

Was just brought to tears at the end of this sermon, “Does God Control Everything?” by Tim Keller.

Listen to the whole thing, but the part I’m talking about starts just after the 35:00 mark.

“Don’t think of the love of God abstractly. Jesus is the love of God.”

“All the greatest forces in the universe were arrayed against Jesus. And he could have stopped them. He could have stopped the rejection, he could have stopped the torture, he could have stopped the death, he could have stopped the rejection of his Father, he could have stopped the eternal justice coming down on his head. All he had to do was give up on us. Thats all he had to do. Just walk away.”

“Charles Spurgeon said, ‘Jesus Christ was up on the cross, nailing, bleeding, dying, looking down on the people betraying him, and forsaking him, and denying him and in the greatest act of love in the history of the universe, HE STAYED!’”

“Bomb after bomb after bomb was coming down on Jesus Christ trying to get him to drop us, to separate him from us. And even Hell itself couldn’t do it. He stayed. Nothing can seperate him from us. His love from us. He held on to us. He was our Savior. He died for us. Now thats how you know that nothing can seperate you from the love of God.”

“If he wouldn’t abandon you then, he wont abandon you now.”

“This is the love you’ve been looking for all your life.”
