A Picture of the Adopting Love of God

As I sat watching this with tears in my eyes, I was overcome by two facts:

1. By his blood, Christ Jesus has "ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation," (Revelation 5:9) that we might together become one family.
2. When God chose us to be his adoptive children, he did so not because of anything that was (or wasn't) in us, but because of his great mercy and our great need. 

 Please take six minutes and watch this powerful video.
