God took the initiative and made peace with His enemies. Think about this:
The one most offended by our sin is the one taking the initiative. Those He could not even look at He gathers to Himself.

So now the next obvious question to ask is “how?” How can a holy God who cannot even look on wickedness bring sinners to Himself? And here’s the sad fact about human nature:
We get overly familiar with things so that we get used to them.

-
God sends His only Son into the world as a man so that He could die in order to pay the penalty for our sins.
-

Familiar, right?

That’s the Gospel. I believe God intends for that to fall fresh on us today.
