40 Day Devotional, Day 16: Dearly Loved

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

(Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV)

Most parents would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children, but what parent would sacrifice their child for someone else? Yet, that’s what God did. God so loved the world that He sacrificed His son, Jesus, for our sake—an act so unimaginable, it only magnifies the depth of God’s great love for us.

ACTION: Reflect. How can you follow God’s example and walk in His way of love? What would this look like in your life?
