The Purpose of Calvary

"How do we convince them that we love them? We let them torture and kill us and continue to love them nonetheless. If this does not convince them that we love them, nothing will".

Surrender

God is offering us a deal. Surrender everything we have to them and they will surrender everything they have to us. This sounds like a good deal to me.

What is the effect on love? Does conduct have a positive effect on love or a neutral effect or a negative effect?

Shattering the Illusion

john bosco

January 13, 2015

God delivers to us the gift of our creation and the gift of paradise. Both gifts were delivered to Adam and Eve simultaneously. God inserted a delay between the delivery of the gift of creation and the gift of paradise with regard to the children of Adam and Eve. Why?

What did the Experiment at Calvary Reveal?

His love for us entered the black box. The black box was the torture and death we inflicted upon Him while He was human, alive, tender and vulnerable. Upon His exit, He loved us nonetheless. What does this experiment tell us about the nature of God?

Spending The Currency of Love

john bosco

January 6, 2015

The currency of love is the medium of exchange in paradise. We can spend a little or we can spend a lot. It is a paradox, but, we grow rich by spending the currency of love. The more we spend the richer we get.

Exploration vs. Indoctrination

john bosco

Is it about exploration or indoctrination? Is it going on safari for ourselves or is it reading or thinking or listening to a lecture or taking a class about going on safari?

The Top Two

john bosco

January 3, 2015

What are your most precious possessions? I will tell you my top two. 1) The love note that God delivered to me on His way into the world at Bethlehem. 2) The guarantee that the love note is genuine that God delivered to me on His way out of the world at Calvary.

God held the Opinion that we needed both a Love Note and a Guarantee that the Love Note was Genuine

God held the Opinion that we needed both a Love Note and a Guarantee that the Love Note was Genuine

The currency He used to pay the cost of the guarantee was the coin of suffering. He paid the cost not from His limitless divine resources. He paid the cost from His limited human resources. He paid it all for us. He kept not a penny for Himself. He has never paid more for anything else.

The Resurrection

john bosco

January 2, 2015

The real miracle of the Resurrection is not that He defeated death. Indeed, the defeat of death was an awesome display of His omnipotence. However, the real miracle of the Resurrection is the survival of His love for us. He continues to love us nonetheless even though we tortured and killed Him.

Nobody is listening to the Radio Station

Nobody is listening to the Radio Station

Is the solution to get us to turn the volume up or to get us to listen more? Maybe the problem is not with the audience but with the radio station? Perhaps if the radio station played different content every once in a while instead of the same stultifying tune?

The Golden Thread of Conversation about God

The Golden Thread of Conversation about God

God is not dead. Far from it. God is very much alive. However, the conversation about God is dead. The killing of the conversation about God is tantamount to killing God. This is how the enemies of God are winning. Without an ongoing conversation about God, God has become a stranger to us.

We cannot delegate the exploration of the mystery, majesty and magnificence of God to others. We must do it ourselves.Why? In the process of seeking God, God transforms us.
