Radical Love


Jesus is serious about love.

Not just any type love either. He is serious about life changing, grace filled, your heart to his heart love. Do you remember that love that changed your life, which broke into your heart and consumed every part of you; even the parts you were ashamed of and thought could never be redeemed?  Do you remember how Jesus’ radical, no stings attached love changed all of that for you? His love is like nothing else we have ever experienced and He is passionate about showing us this love; over and over and over again. He cries out to us:

“ Come to me all you who are weary and burdened I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
-Matt. 11:28-30

Jesus’ love is radical. It powerfully changes our lives, our hearts, and where we could not find acceptance we are not only accepted but also cherished, and when we were consumed by worries, we find soul satisfying rest. As the ones changed by his radical love we should also be giving this same love out. Love is not love when it has strings attached.

Jesus is a radical lover.
