The events in the Queen’s life—just like us-- relationships, choices, context had beat her up and sucked substance and identity away from her. Until the King. And the King’s powerful gaze. Now, she makes a splash. She is different. Her own testimony—don’t take my word for it. From the beginning I said that this was the greatest gospel presentation in the Old Testament. This is the answer to the question, why did Jesus die for me, for you? Was it so that I wouldn’t be punished for my crimes and choices against God? Yes. But he accomplished so much more. Jesus also died to purchase all of the love in the Universe for me. It is now mine. There is no more that I get later. But, the problem now is that my midbrain is so messed up that I have a hard time getting that love. In fact, so many of us struggle with being lovable or not. Why? Our midbrains are doing a great job at protecting us from being hurt—but as a result, we can’t experience the love of Christ for us.

We have learned to fake it. We have learned to deny that we are afraid that that one day when we see Jesus face to face, we will see great disappointment in his eyes.
