The Place of His Passion

Genesis 22:1-18
Hosea 1:2-3
The love of God is incomparable. God sat only two times with mortals telling them how he feels 1) Abraham (Place) -have to sacrifice his only son. A 3 Days journey to Mount Moriah. God wanted to see what the Abraham was to feel when he was to give up his son to God. The same place where Jesus was crucified is the place where Isaac was to be sacrificed. 2) Hosea (passion) -pure, loved God. He wants you to look at his love for the people. Hosea gave love to a prostitute, he never saw her as a woman not as a prostitute. He was a man of God taught to love sinners. God shows the inequality between a prophet and a prostitute. They had 3 children. But that didn't change the woman to stop sinning. She would leave in the middle of the night because all she new was sin. Hosea taught her love and forgiveness. He one night paid for his own wife to take her home safe and sound. He loved her with all his heart. This demonstrates how God feels loving the world and forgiving sinners. He feels terrible when you don't obey or love like he loves. He paid the ultimate price on the cross for each and everyone of us.
