The path began, not in the court of
Pilate, but in the halls of heaven. The Father began His journey when He left
His home in search of us. Armed with nothing more than a passion to win your
heart, he came looking. His desire was singular -- to bring His children home.
The Bible has a word for this quest: reconciliation.
“God was in Christ reconciling the world
to Himself” (2 Corinthians 5:19 NKJV). The Greek word for reconcile means “to render something otherwise.” Reconciliation
restiches the unraveled, reverses the rebellion, rekindles the cold passion.
Reconciliation touches the shoulder of the wayward and woos him homeward.
The path to the cross tells us exactly
how far God will go to call us back.
-- Max Lucado in “He Chose the Nails”
