I had an interesting thought a couple of days ago while listening to Godpod in the car.
I must add, before I go any further, that I don’t know how theologically correct this is, or whether there is anything biblically to back up this thought, but I figured I’d share it as an interesting discussion point… (also, if anyone is able to shed some light on this, it’d be greatly appreciated!)
One of the people on Godpod stated (and I paraphrase) that God is the only person who is always in “the Present”. We as humans, are unable to do this as, as soon as we define the present, it is already the past.
As such, if God is simultaneously present at every single point of time, “present” throughout eternity, is He forever experiencing the pain of dying on the cross? Essentially, due to his omnipresence, both physically and chronologically, is he dying for us right now?
How much greater does this make His sacrifice? How much more does this show He loves us? He is willing to constantly endure the pain of death in order that we might live.
What greater love can be shown than this?
