The song "What maner of love" was put together quite quickly by my standards. Having said that of course the lyrics are "out of the box" so to speak coming directly from 1 John 3 verses 1-2 and the music was from an earlier idea i had which just needed a little development to finish off.
Its 'Good Friday' today and i am struck again by the verse cited and the measure and manner of love shown by God in sending His Son Jesus Christ and the obedience of His Son to death on a cross. Oh the depth of His love and passion for mankind, who can fathom it?
"That we should be called sons of God". This is truly amazing. It is only to mankind, the sons of Adam, that this privilige can be bestowed. The animals of the earth, the birds of the sky, if they could speak, at best would call him "Creator". Even the very angels that surround His throne in heaven do not dare to call Him "Father".
As we contemplate His death and resurrection again at Easter let us ask God for insight and revelation into the depth of His love and how much it cost Him to bring mankind back into communion with Himself and be thankful to Him for the blood that flowed from Calvary and wonder of His Love unto the sons of Adam.
Peace be upon Jerusalem today and unto all who love and adore the Name that is above all Names, the Name of Jesus Christ the LORD
