1. My Savior is wildly redemptive.
When we take a look at the genealogy of Christ we see God's mercy and redemptive nature! God chose the least likely, least deserving woman to bring his only begotten son into the world! It's a beautiful picture of grace and redemption!
2. My Savior is wildly unsettling.
God is omniscient, and His understanding is beyond my comprehension! He is all powerful and all knowing, and in control of every single little detail!
3. My Savior is wildly devoted.
C.S. Lewis said, "God loves us: not because we are lovable but because He is love, not because He needs to receive but because He delights to give." God will always be on my side, and never betray me, he will stick closer than a brother! His passion for me is unstoppable! "His devotion to broken people like us is remarkable. Some would even call it wild."
4. Our savior is wildly tough!
Christ is touch, emotionally, and physically. He withstood incredible temptation and lived without food! He is constantly battling Satan for our lives, making sure that nothing threatens our relationship with Him! The beauty is that He is as "tough as He is tender". He frees us from our fear because he protects, no matter what it may cost him! I mean he died on the cross to save us!
5. Our Savior is wildly compelling.
"His character enchants, subdues, overwhelms-- and with the irresistible impulse of its own sacred attraction it draws your spirit right up to him."- Charles Spuregeon. He compelled 12 men to leave their lives behind and follow him! I feel like that is a pretty compelling person! We can't keep ourselves from him, because he calls and beckons us to him!
This book is helping me learn more and more about my savior, and I can't wait to get even closer to him!
"I must love You. It is impossible for me to resist it- that thought that You love me has compelled my soul to love You."
- Charles Spurgeon
