"Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

We fear being apart from someone, whether it's a child, parent, sibling, spouse, friend, or even God. By becoming a person and going to the cross, Jesus had to go through being separated from God. Because of what Jesus did, we know that we will never be cut off from God's love. He went through the separation so we'd never have to worry about it.

Nothing could stop Jesus from coming to save you—not the distance between heaven and earth, not the trouble of an unplanned pregnancy, not a city full of travelers and parents tired from a long journey, not a crazy king who wanted to kill Him, not jeering crowds shouting "Crucify Him," not disciples who left Him, not soldiers who made fun of Him, not a whip that tore His flesh, and not a cross that killed Him. So, why do you think He would give up on you or let you go after His love has won your heart?
