As much as humans are wired for pleasure, as much as we seek it out, as much as I would like to think that Christians are the ultimate hedonists. . . well, we don't even come close.
For the ultimate hedonist is the Hedonist of heaven, Christ Jesus, who scripture says, for the joy set before him, he endured the cross, that it pleased the Lord. . .
Is there any more soul-boggling scripture? For it reveals that the heart of God is so very good, so very pure, so very loving, that for the pleasure of an intimate relationship with you, me, and yes, the world, God endured the cross. That by his stripes we might be healed, that we might know the beauty of the Almighty. That we might dance in life before his Throne. That's just so you Lord. So very you.
