II | do wonder that God loves lost sim
ful humanity You can take the
worst criminal in our land tonight
and God loves that man. God loves
the drunkard. Isn't IL a wonderful
loye-one we can't comprehend -
can't understand We are told in the
Old Testament how God found us IN
the waste and bowling wilderness
how He put a new song In our
hearts This shows us how God loves
us. We can never drift beyond Gods
love 1t reminds me OF the story Of
J the boy who had wandered off into
sin In strange city. where he felt
his mother didn't know about IT.
One day this boy received telegram
from his mother saying, mother
knows all about you. She knows
what you are doing. She loves you
still come home So 1t is with Cod
He knows all about MS; knows our
levery sin and yet He loves us. God
commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet SINNERS,
) iChrist died for us. God was under nc
fobligation to save us or provide I
: plan OF salvation. but He looke'
j. ldown upon you IN your sin, and 10Y
r led you. I can't understand the II
II gratitude OF the human heart, whe
l. there is not awakened in that hear
e responsive love for God. For
d child to be reared in a tender hon
h and to turn against mothers lov
e is ingratitude-so it is fngratftud
y when we spurn the great love of CO.
S that comes flowing down to us IL
l | the gospel. That heart is ungratefu
indeed that does not appreciate the
great love of God Does that love
awaken a responsive love in your
heart? We ought as we think ABOUT
: what God has done for us, dedicate
our lives to Him and let Him use us
as He will God loves you-you may
have had a different conception OF
God, but God has always loved you.
| want now to tell you about the
measure of this love. There are diff
ferent degrees of love. Some OF us
NAV think we know what love is but
we don't know. God so loved the
world that He gave His only begot-
ten Son. This is the measure OF
Gods love. Can we appease love
like that?
"Some years ago Dr. Willingham
was preaching in a church and made
- an appeal for missionaries. Some old
man prayed for God to raise up
, some one To so and preach in Chl-
p Ina. The old man had an only son ana
, daughter and. when Dr. Willingham
asked for any who would 80 TO the
