Do you ever find yourself looking at someone and try to figure out what their issue is? You hear them say some pretty . . . let's just say, "interesting" words, and you wonder if they even realize what they're saying? Like, at the very least, people will judge them and, at worst, they're going to get into some pretty big trouble. And, like a good friend, you sit back with your popcorn and watch the magic happen. No? Either way, you know it's not going to go well for them in the end.
To communicate the deeper truths about God and what it meant to have a deeper relationship with God and others, Jesus made some statements a lot of people didn't like. They challenged him, questioned him, betrayed him, and eventually killed him for the things he said. In the end, Jesus knew a lot of people wouldn't understand what he was trying to tell them, but he loved them anyway. Why? Because God loves us even when we don't understand why. It's who God is.
Do you believe God's love is a verb, character trait, or is God love embodied?

About this Plan
If you're a hiker, you know a trail-breaker is someone who walks ahead, makes a new way, and invites others to follow. That's exactly what Jesus did for us. He broke a new trail with his birth, his life, his teachings, and then with his death and resurrection. In this 30-day devotional series designed for Lent, we’ll see how Jesus showed us a new way of living and knowing God.
