To the left are some friends that we know from Church. They are serving a mission in Cambodia. Each week they send a blog link and we get to see their weeks activities. This one is a side trip they took because they got a couple of days off when their daughter came to visit. It is always interesting to hear from them. A few days back I posted a picture of a man named Tom who was an older man who was part of our church group for a while. I was thinking about him today, Easter, and thinking about the fact that in serving him I really grew to care for him. Serving others gets us to love others. These friends in Cambodia are serving others and each week express their love for the others. I was thinking about what service is. When I served Tom it often was a lot of work. You get to know others when you serve them. I suppose you learn about their weaknesses too. Since today is Easter I thought about why Christ might love us? Why He might have cared about us enough to pay the price for our sins. I thought about these little examples of service and note that our Cambodian friends are getting to know those they serve and Tom was someone I got to know. Christ, having paid for each individual sin that each of us, and myself in particular, has committed would have in doing so enabled Him to have gotten to know us more than anyone else ever will. It is hard to imagine that every single wrong thing I have ever done would have been known to Him and He would have paid the price for it. There is no hiding who I am or who we are from Him and maybe that is what helped Him love us.............................
