How could we not want to follow Him?

A God that is absolute, flawless, unbelievably good, righteous and holy. The amazing creator, responsible for everything in life… and he loves us? He loves His creation more than a mother loves hers.

He intended relationship. In order for our love to be true it had to be our choice. That was His gift of love for us. Many chose the world and themselves, despite their promised fate. The ones that chose Him loved Him and followed him like sheep to their Sheppard. They chose to surrender their lives for a greater cause. They had to have a pretty good reason to do this, right? So what was the reason?

I think the reason is because they witnessed Him. They must have seen a miracle, had an epiphany, or seen His traces in the world. This is enough to mesmerize any viewer. To witness His absolute goodness…

This great creator and ruler has endless unfathomable qualities. We can never begin to imagine the extent to His greatness and ultimate beauty. But the most amazing part of this story is that His most beautiful trait is His love and mercy that He bestowed upon us when we did not deserve it. He loves us ridiculously.

A man who loves us immeasurably more than we could ever love our deepest loved one. He loved us enough to send His only precious son, a part of himself, to die for us, to save us from ourselves. What other king would step down from their throne humbling himself to our lowest level, to serve the world, and to give up His life for ours even after we betrayed and abandoned Him. That is unfathomable love and mercy. He is pure light. He is the ultimate leader and champion and he is worth following and dying for. He is the ultimate Champion and Savior and He is filled with compassion and love. He is Just and righteous. He possesses the ultimate power and is fierce and profound. He is where all life’s beauties and amazements come from. No words can ever reach Him. He is the ultimate good. How could we not want to follow Him?
