God has no Bounds

Hosanna! Glory! The King is Coming! Hallelujah! Jesus! Hosanna! Jesus entered Jerusalem on [what became] Palm Sunday to the crowds praising him, worshiping him, and declaring His identity to the world! I bet the angels were thinking "finally, the people recognize Christ for who He is!" Heaven must have been a party that day.

Yet, what followed brought silence to the halls of Heaven. The angels probably sat and cried. They had to hate seeing King Jesus suffer so. Jesus rode in to Jerusalem in a wave of glory, but it was a prelude to more suffering than the world had ever, or has ever seen. Heaven must have been silent.

As the time drew near for Christ to be crucified the angels were holding themselves back from the urge to go to Jesus and whisk Him away. Finally the time approached. The angels did what they could, but the Father spoke.

"Dear servants, this is what has to be done. Jesus volunteered, He will do it. This must be done, for you see those people? They are my creation. I love them. I want them to know, what you already know. I want them to see that I love them, and that I will do anything for them."

God has no bounds. He went all the way to the cross, tomb and even Hell to prove His love. But love isn't the only way that God is boundless. God's grace and mercy are boundless, as is His forgiveness. No matter how many times, or how big the sin, He will forgive if we repent. God's presence is boundless, He is everywhere at all times. God's knowledge is boundless.

It is comforting to know that I serve, that I am a child of such an amazing and boundless God. Have you met God? Have you come face to face with God's boundless-ness???
