Why Me? Read: Mark 14.10-21 Bible in a Year: Judges 11-12; Luke 6.1-26 God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5.8 British pastor Joseph Parker was asked, Why did Jesus choose Judas to be one of His disciples? He thought deeply about the question for a while but could not come up with an answer. He said that he kept running into an even more baffling question: Why did He choose me? That's a question that has been asked throughout the centuries. When people become painfully aware of their sin and are overcome with guilt, they cry out to Jesus for mercy. In joyous wonder they experience the truth that God loves them, that Jesus died for them, and that they are forgiven of all their sins. It's incomprehensible! I too have asked, Why me? I know that the dark and sinful deeds of my life were motivated by a heart even darker, and yet God loved me! Rom. 5.8. I was undeserving, wretched, and helpless, yet He opened His arms and His heart to me. I could almost hear Him whisper, I love you even more than you loved your sin. Itâs true! I cherished my sin. I protected it. I denied its wrongdoing. Yet God loved me enough to forgive me and set me free. Why me? It's beyond my understanding. Yet I know He loves me and He loves you too! How wonderful is Your grace, Jesus! It's greater than all my sin. You've taken away my burdens and set my spirit free. Thank You. God loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is.
