Even So

This evening's reading from Spurgeon's Morning and Evening discussed the remarkable fact that, even though Christ knew what we were yet to do, He still gave up His life for us. It's not just that He knew what people had done before and had decided to forgive, but He knew exactly what I was going to do in the future. Even after my salvation He knew how many times I would turn my back on Him, how many times I would choose to go my own way, and even so, He gave up His life so that I might be forgiven. This is one of those "Wow" moments, when there really isn't anything else to be said. Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace! I want to honor you by not requiring it so often.
