Unimaginable Love: Depth in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ

I have a Skit Guys video that I would like you to watch before reading this. The link is below, but I want you to really pay attention to this video, and what it's trying to say. The Skit Guys is this Youtube channel where these two guys do Christian based skits to minister to others. Please enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiqKcAcecq4 

Many of us don't truly think about the sacrifice that God has made for us by giving up Jesus Christ to save our sinful selves. Jesus decided to go through unimaginable pain just to save us. And, here' s the big thing: If it only would have been you that he were to save, he would do it anyways. God's love has no end. God's love that he has shown us is unimaginable because we have NEVER experienced a love so great on this planet. Many of us don't really think about this, though. Us as teenagers, don't really get into depth with it. But, if you think about it, it's more amazing than we even know. If you simply just put yourself in God's and Jesus' shoes, it brings you to tears. Think about giving up your child, or for those of you who don't have a child, giving up your most loved family member or friend. Think about giving that person up for everyone that lives on this planet. God didn't just do this for those of us who are saved, but for those who are sinners as well. That means, that if you were God's shoes, you would be giving up that person for the very few Christians out there, people who do drugs, people who don't believe in you, people who don't believe in anything, people who don't love you at all, people who serve the devil, people who cuss, people who lie, people who take your own name in vain, people who say they even hate you, and many others. The list goes on and on with all the different kinds of people in this world. But, I want you to imagine having to give up that one person you really love just for these people in this world, many who don't even believe in your existence. How does that make you feel? See, we can't even imagine the pain that God felt after doing that for us. But, God did it simply because he loves us. That unimaginable love is so amazing that our simple can't even begin to comprehend it. But, I do know one thing within myself, and that's if God did that for me, then I should be doing everything in my power to please him and pay him back. See, you can never repay God for what he has blessed you with whether you're healthy or sick, rich or poor, or anything else. You can NEVER repay him for what he sacrificed on that cross and all the other things he's given you on this planet. But, we have to try even though there is no possible way of achieving that goal. We try because atleast we can show our love back. We try because he deserves it all. There is nothing more on this entire planet that he doesn't deserve. The feeling of that love can be overwhelming sometimes, but what we must do is just praise him for it and let that overwhelment flow over us as we praise. See, if we praise him for that love and truly give it our all, that's when we begin to feel his glory too. That's when we become in touch with the Holy Spirit (which is a whole other sermon), and we begin to really connect with God. That's when we feel a little taste of heaven and his presence within our hearts. So, I ask you today, will you give God what he deserves, or will you let all that love he has given you go to waste?
