“Jesus is God expressing Himself. God wanted to be known. God wanted to be seen. God wanted to be known and understood. He wanted a people who would LOVE His Son. Because God IS love. And Love wants to give. Love wants to pour out. It says that Jesus was the Lamb, slain before the foundations of the Earth. Do you know what that means? That means from before time began the Son, within His own being, within His essence, before the fall of man, before there was sin…He was sacrificial love. He was LONGING to sacrifice it all for Love. He IS the Lamb, slain before the foundations of the earth, before Time began, before there was sin, before it all fell, and all went ”that” way. God didn’t say “Oh, now I’m going to have to kill You, Jesus, because they made a big mistake.” He was the Lamb, slain before the foundations of the earth, because this is what God is. God is love. God is LOVE.  Love is not passive. Love is PASSION. God is ALL consuming Fire. He is fire and fire longs to take over, to move. He was sacrificial love, He was the Lamb, slain before the foundations of the Earth. And the Father looks at the Son and He says “I’m going to create a scenario of 6000 years of history. I’m going to create the WHOLE theatre, the ENTIRE drama. There’s going to be this sin, there’s going to be this snake in the garden.”…Because love is not LOVE unless it’s a choice. DO you know the most valuable reality about life is the free will of humanity? The most valuable thing in existense outside of God is the free will of humanity. That thing that’s going on behind your face, that world inside of you where you choose? That is the most precious thing in the sight of God…the free will…the ability to choose. God wanted to be chosen. This is powerful. Because you know for God to be able to be chosen, that means there has to be an option to not choose Him. There’s just that chance we’re not going to choose them. God wants LOVE more than He wants an empty Hell. “I want them to CHOOSE”. This is the arena to demonstrate love. This whole Drama is the Father preparing a wedding for the Son.”
